Celina wrote on Twitter- “Ever since I saw the Manipur video, I am neither able to sleep nor eat anything. My body is shaking with anger and pain. Whatever the reason, violence is violence. Violence against women is a crime.” She added, “Safety of women and children should be the biggest priority of any authority. It is breaking me from inside to see such a heinous crime against women. I am sure that the government will take such action against these criminals that no one can dream of doing so.”
I am unable to sleep or eat since I saw the #Manipur_Violence videos few hours ago. Shaking with anger, pain and anger again. Violence is violence…. Ethnic, non ethnic, whatever the reason violence is violence and violence against women isn't cultural, it's criminal.

Protection…
Sharing a story on Instagram, Priyanka Chopra wrote, “It took a video going viral...77 days after the heinous crimes were committed...before action was taken.
Rationale? Reasons? None matter irrespective of what and why, situational or circumstantial, we can not allow women to be pawns in any game. The collective shame and anger needs to be channeled now in a unified voice for just one thing - swift justice. #togetherinshame #justiceforthewomenofmanipur”
Kareena Kapoor also posted on Instagram story, "Deeply disturbed with the situation in #Manipur. All words of condoning the crimes mean nothing until action is taken. Swiftly. 💔"
Kiara Advani criticized the brutality depicted in the video as well. She tweeted, "The video of violence against women in Manipur is horrifying and has shaken me to the core. I pray the women get justice at the earliest. Those responsible must face the most SEVERE punishment they deserve."
