'9
pm
9-minute'
initiative,
lit
diyas
and
candles

surprise
and
was
highly
frowned

by

and
several
Bollywood
celebrities.
The
initiative
was
meant
to
be
a
silent
support
or
prayer
for
those
in
need
and
suffering,
but
the
bursting
of
firecrackers
set
a
celebratory
tone
to
the
event.
Celebrities
like
Taapsee
Pannu,
Sonam
Kapoor,
Richa
Chadha
and
others
took
to
their
social
media
handles
and
expressed
their
objection
to
the
same.
Sonam
Kapoor,
who
is
currently
staying
in
Delhi
with
husband
Anand
Ahuja,
shared
her
amazement
on
her
Twitter
handle
and
wrote,
"People
are
bursting
crackers.
Just
FYI
.
The
dogs
are
freaking
out.
Do
people
think
it's
Diwali?
I'm
so
confused."
In
another
tweet,
Sonam
added,
"There
was
complete
peace
and
quiet,
and
now
the
birds,
dogs
and
sirens
are
freaking
out
in
south
Delhi
because
some
morons
decided
to
burst
firecrackers
tonight."
Actor
Adil
Hussain
who
also
lives
in
South
Delhi,
replied
to
Sonam's
tweet
and
wrote,
"We
are
with
Dia!
Some
people
are
bursting
crackers
in
South
Delhi!"
Taapsee
Pannu,
on
the
other
hand,
after
sharing
a
picture
with
her
sister
and
two
lit
candles,
posted
several
video
clips
on
her
Instagram
stories
and
captioned
it
as
"Wrong
memo." The
video
shows
people
in
her
neighbourhood
burning
crackers,
and
she
also
pointed
out
how
someone
had
ended
up
starting
a
fire.
Displeased
with
the
event,

her
Twitter
and
wrote,
"Why
crackers?
Why?"
