Article 370 of the Indian Constitution gives special status to the state of Jammu and Kashmir. Today, Home Minister, Amit Shah gave an announcement on the revocation of Article 370 by the Indian Government. Many Bollywood celebrities like Vivek Oberoi, Zaira Wasim, Anupam Kher, Raveena Tandon, Dia Mirza, Kangana Ranaut, Director Onir, Sanjay Suri and others gave their reactions on twitter.
Not just Bollywood but sport celebrities too shared their opinions about the emerging story by their tweets. Famous writer Chetan Bhagat applauded Narendra Modi for his bold decision saying, “The boldest decision of the Modi govt so far. Even more than DeMo, GST. Pre planning safety measures deserves special mention. As does keeping instigators of violence in house arrest. Well done. #Article370Scrapped”.

Status Quo on #Kashmir is done & dusted with. The region will ‘theoretically’ be treated like any other in #India .Growing up as a child of the Indian Armed Forces & having heard numerous first hand stories,this is a move I personally welcome.The band-aid ripped off. #370scrapped

Whatever happens in politics, let there be no bloodshed, let sense prevail. We’re one, all Indians. We are a peaceful people. We believe in compassion, not coercion. Be kind peeps! ❤️Jai Hind. https://t.co/ObtXWghTqZ

If we wish 2 C a terror free #Kashmir ,a bustling thriving Kashmir we can buy&invest in, that no longer financially
drains the rest of th country, this is clearly a step in that direction. 54% of j&k revenue came from Central Grant's according to this report.#KashmirIntegrated pic.twitter.com/PITQKGY5CE— Pooja Bedi (@poojabeditweets) August 5, 2019

Anxiously waiting to know what’s happening in #Kashmir . Can’t imagine an entire state being put under this uncertainty. We cannot have another era of violence . Just hoping and praying … this night of distress is over and clarity and peace would surface .#StandwithKashmir
