The act was in response to an appeal from Maharashtra home minister Anil Deshmukh to laud the efforts of the police personnel.

Changing his display picture to that of the Maharashtra police logo, Ajay Devgn tweeted:

Akshay Kumar wrote, "Everyday I hear incidents of bravery of our frontline workers who are putting fear & exhaustion aside and putting us first. One such hero is our Maharashtra Police, I'm changing my DP to theirs as a mark of respect. Join in, together let's say #DilSeSalute to them @DGPMaharashtra."

Madhuri Dixit-Nene, too, took to Twitter to thank the police for their selfless service. Changing her display picture, she wrote, "Can't thank @MumbaiPolice enough for the selfless work that they are doing for us. Changing our display is just a small gesture of telling them how grateful we are for their efforts!"
