Swara Bhasker, Sayani Gupta, Anubhav Sinha Slam B-town Colleagues For Sharing MEA's Statement
Celebrities like Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgn, Karan Johar, Suniel Shetty and others reacted to MEA's statement condemning international celebrities talking about the ongoing farmers' protest
Recently
celebrities
like
Akshay
Kumar,
Ajay
Devgn,
Karan
Johar,
Suniel
Shetty
and
others
reacted
to
the
Ministry
of
External
Affairs'
(MEA)
statement
condemning
international
celebrities
talking
about
the
ongoing
farmers'
protest
in
India.
MEA's
statement
claimed
their
tweets
were
"neither
accurate
nor
responsible."
"The
temptation
of
sensationalist
social
media
hashtags
and
comments,
especially
when
resorted
to
by
celebrities
and
others,
is
neither
accurate
nor
responsible,"
the
statement
added.
All
the
quoted
tweets
by
Bollywood
celebrities
and
sports
personalities
were
similar
and
used
the
same
hashtags
like
#IndiaTogether
and
#IndiaAgainstPropaganda.
Soon
after,
other
B-town
fraternity
members
including
Taapsee
Pannu,
Swara
Bhasker,
and
Sayani
Gupta
called
out
their
colleagues
for
hopping
on
the
bandwagon.
Pannu
and
tweeted,
"If
one
tweet
rattles
your
unity,
one
joke
rattles
your
faith
or
one
show
rattles
your
religious
belief
then
it's
you
who
has
to
work
on
strengthening
your
value
system
not
become
'propaganda
teacher'
for
others." Actreess
Sayani
Gupta
wrote,
"Dear
Indian
celebrities/
actors/
sportsmen/
musicians/
stars,
Grow
some
spine.
Love."
Meanwhile,
desginer
Farah
Khan
also
added
saying
that
the
celebs
gave
themselves
away
by
sharing
the
same
tweets.
"Disappointed
with
the
fraternity
tweeting
identical
tweets
that
makes
it
more
like
a
marketing
gimmick.
Whatever
their
reasons
&
I'm
no
one
to
judge
at
least
u
could
have
tried
to
make
it
more
original.
Now
you
have
given
yourselves
away.

जो
फ़िल्मी
कहानी
में
हीरो
या
हीरोईन
होते
हैं,
उन्हें
असल
ज़िंदगी
में
अपना
आदर्श
क्यूँ
बनाते
हैं
आप?
अब
दिल
टूट
गया?
भगत

बिस्मिल,
गाँधी,सीमांत
गाँधी
और
कलाम
साहब
जैसे
शूरवीरों
को
हीरो
माना
होता
तो
न
दिल
टूटता
और
न
ही
ये
दिन
देखना
पड़ता।

Anyone
who
thinks
the
'celebrity/sportsperson
support-tweet"
game
is
on
twitter,
is
an
absolute
fool.
That
shit
is
being
disseminated
on
an
industrial
scale
on
WhatsApp
and
Facebook.
The
opposition
best
wake
up
quick
or
sit
around
feeling
good
about
irrelevant
twitter-trends.
I
have
no
problems
if
you
are
a
right
wing
nationalist.
In
fact
I
respect
the
fact
that
you
have
a
political
ideology.
But
if
you
are
still
pretending
to
be
a
centerist
or
a
secular
liberal
I
think
you
are
a
piece
of
shit.
Come
out
of
the
closet
please.
