It may have come late in the day but movie celebs are finally speaking out against the nationwide student protests.
After Salman Khan penned a heartfelt note, Alia Bhatt wrote on social media that the last few days have broken her heart.
‘The last few days have broken my heart and then mended it, again and again, with hope,’ Alia writes.
‘Behind every student standing their ground is a dream, a family’s hope, a journey of countless sacrifices. They represent not just themselves but everyone who has supported them, while creating a better path for those who will come after them.
‘Their courage humbles me. Their resolve is a mirror held up to all of us, asking whether we are truly listening to the very people who will inherit and shape this country’s tomorrow. For the students. By the students. The future is theirs. Jai Hind.’
Many other celebs also supported their cause on social media, pouring in messages of courage and hope.
