Earlier on Thursday, actors Akshay Kumar, Kiara Advani, Sonu Sood, Richa Chadha and Renuka Shahane among others reacted to the horrific video. Actor Celina Jaitly also took to Twitter to demanded that the government must take strict action against those involved in the crime. She tweeted, “I am unable to sleep or eat since I saw the #Manipur_Violence videos few hours ago. Shaking with anger, pain and anger again. Violence is violence…. Ethnic, non ethnic, whatever the reason violence is violence and violence against women isn’t cultural, it’s criminal.”

“Protection of women and children should be utmost priority of authorities. To see this heinous, barbaric crime against women has shaken me to the core, I urge the government and I have faith in the government that they take such stringent action that no one dares even in their wildest dreams to think of ever attempting anything like this ever again!!! 💔💔 #ManipurBurning #ManipurCrisis,” Celina concluded.
