For the unversed, on January 5, a group of masked goons, armed with sledgehammers and sticks entered the JNU campus and destroyed the property of the university and several students and teachers were beaten up. The pics and videos of the attack went viral on the internet.

Coming back to Deepika, while she is lauded by her fans and her peers, but she has also faced a backlash from the ruling party for joining the protest; demanding to boycott her movie ‘Chhapaak’ that is releasing on January 10.
