Actors Speak Their Minds
Veteran actor Anupam Kher was among the first to react, posting on X:

“The Red Fort is not just a monument - it’s a symbol of India’s strength and pride. Any act of disrespect towards it is unacceptable. We must protect our heritage with unity and respect.”

Public Reaction and Media Scrutiny
Fans and followers were quick to respond to the celebrity posts, with social media turning into a heated battleground of opinions. Some praised the actors for using their platforms responsibly, while others accused them of politicizing the issue.

Media analysts noted how celebrity voices have increasingly shaped public discourse on national matters. “In an era where people trust influencers more than institutions, Bollywood reactions often set the tone of public sentiment,” said media expert Dr. Ritu Verma.

As investigations into the Red Fort incident continue, India’s film fraternity appears united in one message — that peace, dialogue, and respect for national heritage must come before division and chaos.
