From Sonu Sood To Tillotama Shome, Bollywood Celebs Express Concern Over Ukraine-Russia War
While Sonu Sood urged Indian embassy to look for a route for evacuation, other Bollywood stars including Tillotama Shome and Richa Chadha expressed worry over Ukraine-Russia War.
On Feb 25, casting aside international condemnation and sanctions, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the invasion of Ukraine, also warning other countries that any attempt to interfere would lead to "consequences you have never seen".
He said that action to "demilitarize" Ukraine came after a threat from the country.
Moments after this, explosions were heard in different parts of Ukraine and artillery attacks were reported at borders.

Following this, US President Joe Biden condemned Putin's order of invasion.
Reacting to what's happening in Russia and Ukraine, Bollywood stars including Richa Chadha and Tillotama Shome have expressed their worry.

Director-writer Vinta Nanda called the Ukraine-Russia war "a clash of egos".
War in these times is nothing but clash of egos of the mighty and powerful. It is a violation of all human rights. The people of the world are enslaved to this capitalism unfolding under various different names. The unfairness is staggering #UkraineCrisis

Sonu Sood urged Indian Embassy to find a route for the evacuation of Indians.
There are 18000 Indian students and many families who are struck in Ukraine, I am sure Government must be trying their best to get them back. I urge Indian Embassy to find an alternate route for their evacuation. Praying for their safety. #IndiansInUkraine
