While a lot of celebrities have come out in support of the JNU students against the atrocities done on them, most industry A-listers remained quiet. And now, in a rather shocking and commendable act of bravery, Deepika Padukone was spotted at the JNU campus yesterday, making her stand loud and clear! DP has been heaped by an appreciation by most industry folk and the latest to laud the actress is Sonakshi Sinha.
Sonakshi is someone who does not shy away from calling a spade a spade! And the actress took to her social media handle to thank DP for taking a stand and giving a fresh impetus to the movement. Taking to her Twitter handle, the Dabangg actress wrote, “No matter which political party you support,do u support violence?Don’t visuals of bleeding students and teachers shake you up?We can’t sit on the fence any longer.Kudos to @deepikapadukone for showing up,& all those who spoke for speaking up.This is not the time to stay quiet.”

As producer today @deepikapadukone would’ve been standing in the preview theatres in Mumbai waiting to hear praise being showered on her maiden production. She instead chose to stand in solidarity with #JNUstudents knowing fully well the ramifications of her actions. #RESPECT
