Bollywood VS Bollywood: Celebs Call Each Other Out On Farmers Row As Their Views Remain Divided
The events that followed after Rihanna's 50-character tweet has caused a rift among Bollywood stars and has left them divided. Taapsee Pannu called out those who were easily offended by one tweet by Rihanna on farmers' protest. "Who hired the idiots that wrote this propaganda," asked Amanda Cerny.
A Twitter war erupted over international pop sensation Rihanna's tweet, which was followed by support from several other international icons including Jay Sean, Greta Thunberg, Mia Khalifa, Amanda Cerny, Lilly Singh and many others.
Soon after this while many including Richa Chadha, Hansal Mehta, Swara Bhasker and Shibani Dandekar hailed the singer, several others stepped in defense of the government's farm laws and accused international celebs of defaming India as part of propoganda. Some other celebrities stepped in to slam these "identical" tweets and asking these celebrities to grow a spine instead.

"Disappointed with the fraternity tweeting identical tweets that make it more like a marketing gimmick. Whatever their reasons & I¡¯m no one to judge at least u could have tried to make it more original. Now you have given yourselves away. Reel Life Heroes VS Real Life Heroes".

Taapsee Pannu called out those who were easily offended by one tweet by Rihanna on farmers' protest.
"If one tweet rattles your unity, one joke rattles your faith or one show rattles your religious belief then it's you who has to work on strengthening your value system not become 'propaganda teacher' for others," she tweeted.

"Who hired the idiots that wrote this propaganda," asked Amanda Cerny.
"Who hired the idiots that wrote this propaganda. 'A completely unrelated group of Celebrities conspiring end being paid to destroy india'? I mean come onnnnnnn. At least make it SOMEWHAT realistic: 'Amanda Cerny DM¡¯d a farmer her nudes and thats why the internet in india crashed.' Now that¡¯s believable!"

"I also like ostrich. But I am not one. Division is good but not for people. Share love and do it unconditionally. I learnt this when I was in school. And this is not an internal matter. Past internalisation," Fazal tweeted.
i also like ostrich. But i am not one. Baatna achhi baat hai. Lekin Insaan nahi, Pyaar baatiye, aur uski buniyaadon pe shart mat rakhiye. Yeh school mein seekha thha. Aur haan internal matter nai hai kuchh bhi. Past internalisation.
