After Diljit-Kangana's Twitter Spat, Priyanka Chopra & Sonam Kapoor Share Their Take On The Farmers' Protest
A few days ago, singer-turned-actor Diljit Dosanjh and actress Kangana Ranaut had an ugly Twitter spat over the farmers' protest. It all started when Kangana shared a derogatory post for an elderly woman, who was spotted at the protest, and Diljit slammed her for doing the same. Since then, many celebrities including Mika Singh and Swara Bhasker reprimanded Kangana, and asked her to apologise to the elder woman. While Kangana hasn't apologised yet, a few more celebrities have come out in support of the farmers.
Actress Priyanka Chopra Jonas retweeted a post of Diljit Dosanjh and wrote, "Our farmers are India's Food Soldiers. Their fears need to be allayed. Their hopes need to be met. As a thriving democracy, we must ensure that this crises is resolved sooner than later." (sic)
