Many Bollywood celebrities have chosen to stay mum regarding the CAA and the following unrest it caused, with the police attacking and detaining peaceful protesters across Indian varsities.
However, others like Mohammad Zeeshan Ayyub, Farhan Akhtar, Richa Chadha, veteran screenwriter Javed Akhtar, filmmakers Reema Kagti, Vishal Bhardwaj and Anurag Kashyap, and Hollywood actor John Cusack have expressed support and solidarity for students and the Indian public at large. Parineeti's cousin, Priyanka also finally broke her silence regarding the ongoing protests and said that in a thriving democracy, violence against these demonstrators is wrong.
Meanwhile, Parineeti will emulate badminton player Saina Nehwal in a biopic titled Saina. The film will be directed by Amole Gupte, who has previously helmed Stanley Ka Dabba and Hawa Hawaai. Saina is expected to hit cinemas sometime in 2020.
