There was a scene in this year's movie Article 15 where Ayushmann Khurrana, who plays a cop takes a stand against injustice and says "Staying neutral when a fire is raging, is standing with the ones who lit it..". Well, these lines look absolutely ironical as Ayushmann Khurrana's take on Jamia protests is being labeled as 'safe'.
How's the Josh??asked several fans, questioning the silence of actors like Vicky Kaushal, who featured in Uri and also shared the national award with Ayushmann Khurrana.

Police brutality became an idea of debate and discussion on the internet with several Bollywood stars joining the club and expressing their opinion. After a long phase of silence, National Award-winning actors, Ayushmann Khurrana and Vicky Kaushal finally took time out to 'express' their opinions but the Internet isn't too pleased!?
Taking to Twitter Ayushmann wrote,?
"Deeply disturbed about what the students went through and I strongly condemn this. All of us have the right to protest and exercise our fundamental freedom of expression. However, protests also cannot turn violent and lead to destruction of public property. That simply is counterproductive. Dear countrymen, this is the land of Gandhi. Ahimsa is and should be the tool to express. Have faith in democracy."
Vicky Kaushal too supported the students and condemned the violence. He wrote,?
"What is happening is not okay. The way it¡¯s happening is not okay. People have every right to peacefully voice their opinion. This violence and disruption is both saddening and concerning as a fellow citizen. In no circumstance, must our faith in democracy be shaken," Vicky posted.? ?
