Numerous renowned Bollywood celebrities, such as Alia, Priyanka, and others, have demonstrated their support for Palestine by expressing solidarity on Instagram. However, this has triggered a trend called ‘Boycott Bollywood’ on the X social media platform. Pooja Bhatt has criticized this trend, which frequently targets the industry for collectively speaking out.
On her official X handle, she shared a screenshot of the boycott Bollywood hashtag and expressed her frustration in the caption about the industry facing consequences for advocating for Palestine. Pooja later reposted the same caption, emphasizing the gaslighting present in the comments. Meanwhile, Madhuri Dixit garnered attention for deleting a viral “All Eyes On Rafah” post from Instagram, leading fans to speculate that she removed it due to receiving backlash.
