Many celebrities and netizens have spoken and given their views on the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). The social media is clearly divided in two factions one which supports the bill while the other who are skeptical about it. The Police action on Jamia Milia Islamia students have also come under scrutiny where many sided with the students while others raised questions on how come the students resorted to destroying public property, pelting stones and torching buses. While stars like Taapsee Pannu, Vikrant Massey, Rajkummar Rao, Anurag Kashyap, Richa Chadha, Swara Bhasker, Vishal Dadlani, Soni Razdan, Mahesh Bhatt, Parineeti Chopra and others slammed Delhi Police for barging into the university campus at Jamia Milia Islamia, there have been others like Vivek Agnihotri, Koena Mitra, Yogeshwar Dutt that have come out in support of the Act.
However, the biggies of Bollywood have maintained a stoic silence over the issue. Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, Ajay Devgn, Akshay Kumar, Amitabh Bachchan have all refrained from voicing their opinion. Rajinikanth even dodged the question yesterday during the trailer launch of his film Darbar. Their deafening silence has not escaped the notice of the Twitterati who have made #ShameOnBollywood and #BollywoodKeBekaarBuddhe trend on Twitter. Netizens expressed their anger at their silence and were upset with celebs that showed solidarity with the protesters without knowing the entire matter. Amitabh was trolled heavily for calling student protests in Delhi ‘peaceful’. many tried to school the celebrities that tweeted their support to the Jamia protests. Check out the tweets below.

We should boycott each and every bollywood actors and actress who are openly supporting the act of Violence by Jamia Jihadist. Bollywood not knowing exactly what is CAA but they call it unconstitutional. If it was unconstitutional then how signed by President. #ShameonBollywood

There are ways to speak you mind.
If your film is objectionable to my culture and if destroy your car, homes and other properties, will that be good way of opening your mind.
Go and give a sexy kiss to any actor..
Do not speak before knowing. #BollywoodKeBekaarBuddhe https://t.co/k8sAME9VsI— SRD89 (@Shailesh420959) December 17, 2019
