On Sunday, a masked mob with sticks, rocks, and sledgehammers attacked the JNU’s students, who were protesting against the controversial Indian Citizenship Amendment Act.

Where many Bollywood stars kept quiet on the ongoing protests against CAA, Deepika’s brave step earned appreciation on social media for standing up against the goons who attacked JNU’s students and staff.

While taking to India Today, Deepika Padukone expressed concern about the attack on students in several Indian universities. She said that she is scared and hopes that it doesn’t become the new normal.

“I said what I wanted to say 2 years ago when Padmaavat was releasing. It’s the same fear I felt two years at the time. When I see all this, I feel pain. I hope that this doesn’t become the new normal that anyone can say anything and get away with it. I feel scared and feel sad too. I think this isn’t the foundation of our nation.”

Many other Bollywood celebrities appreciated Deepika’s bold step on social media. Not only them, Netizen were seen thanking her for supporting the students of JNU.

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

Thank you @deepikapadukone for giving this movement a mainstream narrative. For using your position to choose the correct path. It always comes to the women and yes, they do deliver! Big love sister! #WeAreWithJNU #noplaceforfascism

I think I just figured out why Deepika Padukone's beauty is unparalleled. Because she's pure inside out. A foundation for the awareness of depression, film on an acid attack survivor & then she stands with JNU students at a rally #ISupportDeepika Biggest balls in all of Bollywood

This is callous. Those calling to boycott #Chhapaak because @deepikapadukone went to #JNU are forgetting the movie is about an acid attack survivour whose story Deepika has dared to share. How can one forget the cause the brave actress has espoused ? #ISupportDeepika pic.twitter.com/iWlAcpht4C
