Several Bollywood celebrities have reacted to Home Minister Amit Shah’s announcement that the Narendra Modi government intends to repeal Article 370 of the Constitution, which grants special status to the state of Jammu & Kashmir. Actors such as Kangana Ranaut, Dia Mirza, Pooja Bedi, Zaira Wasim, Anupam Kher, Raveena Tandon, Sanjay Suri, director Onir, writer Chetan Bhagat and others have taken to Twitter to share their opinions about the developing story.

Kangana in a message shared by her team on Instagram, wrote, “Scrapping of Article 370 was long due, it is a historic step in the direction of a terrorism-free nation. I have been emphasising on this for the longest time, and I knew if any one could achieve this impossible feat that is Mr. Modi. He is not only a visionary, but he also has the required courage and strength of character to make unthinkable a reality… I congratulate the entire Bharat including JnK on this historic day, we are together looking at a very bright future.”
