A meeting was called by Union Minister Piyush Goyal and Baijayant Panda, who wanted "to discuss the myths and realities of the Citizenship Amendment Act". A host of Bollywood celebrities were called for the discussion which was held at a plush hotel in Kalina, Mumbai. But most of the A-listers skipped the event.

Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah actor Shailesh Lodha also attended Union Minister Piyush Goyal's CAA meet at a plush hotel in Kalina.

Urvashi Rautela was among the first to arrive for the pro-Citizenship (Amendment) Act discussion at the plush hotel in Kalina.

While the agenda of the meeting was to have a "discussion around all the possible dimensions of the issue", the invitees' list unsurprisingly left out several film personalities who have critiqued the CAA, including Anurag Kashyap, Swara Bhasker and Richa Chadha.
