The protests against the Citizenship (CAA) turned violent in various parts of India with incidents of people vandalizing public property and setting vehicles on fire. On Tuesday, locals in North-East Delhi's Seelampur and Zaffarabad clashed with the police and vandalized at least three buses and set ablaze a police motorcycle along with other vehicles. As a measure to control the mob, police resorted to tear gas shelling.

Amidst the news of CAA protests intensifying, Twitter users pointed out that Bollywood stars, especially superstars like the Khans aka Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Aamir Khan were under the radar. Amitabh Bachchan was also questioned and Deepika Padukone's name also came up. Anupam Kher, who often has a stand over matters, was also questioned on his silence in the matter.

"These Bollywood "influencers" come to the citizens as soon as their film is about to release. These people become their audience. But when this audience faces any difficulty, they remain absolutely silent," stated a Twitterati who goes by the name of Atoshi.

While these stars have not spoken up, some Bollywood celebrities did talk about the matter but they also got bashed from Twitter. #ShameOnBollywood and #BollywoodKeBekaarBuddhe started trending on the micro-blogging platform for the same reason.
