Ever since Hollywood pop-star Rihanna came out in support of farmers amidst the ongoing farmer's protest, the scenario has been changed to Bollywood vs Hollywood. After Rihanna's support, a section of people on social started slamming the Bollywood industry for not speaking and addressing the farmer's issue. Following that many A-listers of Bollywood broke their silence and openly supported the government's way of tackling the situation with farmers. Bollywood celebrities including Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgn, Karan Johar, Sunil Shetty, and more openly supported the government after Rihanna's tweet.
Now, Bollywood actress Koena Mitra too joined the debate and took a jibe at the protesting farmers' Koena sarcastically said that the so-called poor farmers can now afford Rihanna. Koena wrote, "The so called Poor Farmers can now afford Rihana too!! Phew..."
This tweet by Koena was not embraced well by the Punjabi entertainment industry. Punjabi singers like Jazzy B and Prabh Gill slammed the actress and asked if she is jealous that the pop-star stood behind farmers and not the Bollywood?
Prabh Gill took to Twitter and wrote, "Yes Bcs They Are Not Blind/Sold Like #Bollywood They Stand With Truth Are You Jealous?"
On this, Koena replied, "Bollywood isn’t blind or sold! Aap jaise lakho ussi industry me line lagatey hai, izzat se baat karo."
After Prabh famous Punjabi singer Jazzy B wrote, "We will give you the tips"
Koena replied, "Your culture Sir. Too much Tameez!!"
