In an event organized by the BJP at Mumbai’s Shivaji Park, Juhi Chawla spoke about how PM Modi has constantly worked for the nation without taking a single leave in 5 years. 

Aap mein se kaun hain jisne pichle 5 saal mein ek bhi chhuti nahi li? Ek bhi din aapne nahin kaha, ki ‘aaj main office nahin jaunga’. Inn hazaaron logon mein se kaun hain? Ek hain – (Crowd chants Modi) – wahi.”

She further added that it is easier to break things–while referring to buses being burnt–but it is more difficult to keep things united. 

In a press conference conducted later, she also stated that instead of constantly questioning the government, one should focus on their own actions and/or inaction. 

Her speech was circulated on social media and #JuhiChawla started trending on Twitter. Apart from Juhi Chawla, celebrities like Shaan, Ranvir Shorey, and others have also come out in support of the Citizenship Amendment Act.
