After Deepika Padukone, Varun Dhawan voices concerns over violence on JNU students, says ‘cannot stay neutral on such issues’

Following Deepika Padukone’s footsteps, Varun Dhawan spoke on violence against JNU students that took place Sunday and said given the circumstances, one could not stay neutral.

Bollywood actor Varun Dhawan joined industry colleagues Deepika Padukone, Mohd Zeeshan Ayyub, Richa Chaddha, Swara Bhaskar, among others, in condemning violence against the students of Jawaharlal Nehru University on Sunday, calling it a “sad and dangerous situation”.

PTI quoted Varun as saying, “Cannot stay neutral on such issues. It’s dangerous & sad if masked people enter an educational institution and all this happens: Actor Varun Dhawan on JNU Violence.”

While Richa, Swara, Zeeshan and Sushant Singh have been voicing concerns over violence in universities for some time now, Deepika joined the students in JNU on Tuesday evening. She paid a visit to the campus and stood in support of JNUSU president Aishe Ghosh who was badly injured during the violence on Sunday. Deepika was in the national capital to promote her upcoming film Chhapaak. Filmmakers Hansal Mehta, Anubhav Sinha and Anurag Kashyap have also been regularly tweeting out in support of the students.
