Actor director and talk show host, Simi Garewal, also reacted to the results of the 2024 Lok Sabha Elections.  She took to her X (formerly Twitter) to react to the BJP’s underperformance in Lok Sabha elections. “What a political thriller! What an eye-opener! What lessons to be learned! Arrogance was avenged. Injustice was punished & those persecuted were redeemed. I’m in awe of the wisdom of the Janta. They are more prudent & insightful than politicians realise.” She further praised Rahul Gandhi and added, “@RahulGandhi you campaigned with courage, compassion & dignity. Proud of you. I wish Rajiv-ji could see you now! (sic).”
