With cities burning owing to the protests held by students of various educational institutes to condemn the passing of the Citizenship Amendment Act, the country is left divided. Celebrities and other public figures have expressed their opinion on several platforms. Joining the bandwagon is Deepika Padukone. The actress, who was in the Capital to promote her upcoming film Chhapaak, opened up on the matter. The 34-year-old star, during a media interaction, told she feels proud to watch people voicing their opinions on street or from their homes. She further stated that if change is to be brought, it is necessary to put forth every individual's point of view out in the open. 

"It's nice to see people coming out on the streets. I feel proud that people are voicing their opinion whether on the streets or from their homes. If we want to see any change in our life or our society, it is extremely important to keep all points of view on the table," Deepika told.
