In support of Das, Hansal Mehta wrote on Twitter, "I was very moved by this @thevirdas. I come from an India where it needs courage for a Vir Das to say this, I come from an India where many of us admire this courage, yet choose to remain silent".?
Richa Chadha quoted a tweet that criticised Das and wrote,?"Gentle reminder that the pursuit of azaadi must also free us from all-season RWA presidents masquerading as politicos. The ¡®national image¡¯ argument is irrelevant, when brutal crimes make global headlines and the country has fallen several ranks in ALL indices".
Actor Ashwin Mushran shared Das' statement and wrote, "Easy folks - This ain't an apology...Of course you need to know how to read to understand that minor point... What I'm saying is that there are 2 Indias...1 who sits through 6 minutes of a video and the other who rushes through 15 seconds of an edited one of the same".
Das in his clarification said that he hasn't insulted the country and that people shouldn't believe in the edited clips going viral.?
