Kabir Bedi takes a stand for Deepika after Smriti Irani's attack

Kabir Bedi reacts over Smriti Irani's comments on Deepika Padukone, backs the actress on social media.

Kabir Bedi expressed his displeasure over Smriti Irani's comment on Deepika Padukone. He tweeted, "Smriti Irani ji, I don't believe Deepika was siding with any ideology, left or right, by visiting the JNU. Outside goons beat up students, dozens hospitalised. It was an act of solidarity with those who suffered the most. What you said about her was not in good taste."

This is a bold and fearless take and Padukone should be praised for her JNU appearance. A lot of celebrities from Bollywood came out in her support, and it's good to see the numbers rising.

Here's Bedi's tweet:
