First understand the issue, then speak: Juhi Chawla on JNU violence

Deepika Padukone recently stood in protests of the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) and started trending on Twitter. The same has now happened with Juhi Chawla. The actress was asked about the JNU protests and she answered the same in a rather unusual manner.

Juhi stated that 'people need to first understand whether it’s NRC or CAA, and what’s is it about, why is this being talked about'. “We are going to work, thinking about how to execute our task, then some incident happens somewhere and suddenly the media asks, ‘what do you think about this?’ We haven’t understood the matter, people haven’t understood the matter but you need a reaction,” she said while joining the protests.

The actress further went on to state, “Everyone is quick to talk about dividing. Why don’t we talk about uniting? Why does everyone say ‘what is the government doing, why is it doing this?’ but I say if you point one finger there then three fingers are at you.”

In a video from ANI which is also going viral, Juhi is further heard stating, "It is easier to break anything (referring to the violence), but it takes time to build something from the scratch."

Taking references from both the points, Twitter was divided. While some praised Juhi for being the sensible one, others called her out.

Take a look:

She was Miss India when I was a baby, despite numerous visits to parlours she’s closer to being a senior citizen than a beauty queen. Old things can be beautiful if they know to age gracefully & not try to compete with younger things or actresses as is the case now. #JuhiChawla pic.twitter.com/hlLCLNv3Kf

#JuhiChawla also said it was unfair to question artistes on incidents "just for a reaction"https://t.co/oB12hi1mIU

What #JuhiChawla said was absolutely right there are so many people are protesting without knowing what #CAA is and spreading havoc. Finally someone from bollywood speaks sensibly. https://t.co/nVpNN9zVGx

Either this lady must be a dumbo or crooked.
A sensible statement made by #juhiChawla but she wants it to be PM's office criticizing the govt !!! https://t.co/Lz01j8CE1u

Attempt by Ms Juhi Chawla to get some limelight after staying behind the screen for a long time. Ma'am, please go back to films because your statement looks like you don't even know what the protests are all about....@iam_juhi #JuhiChawla https://t.co/yVYoqmPuNE

At last someone speaks sensibly in Bollywood on #CAAProtests DUMВOS like #DeepikaPadukone should learn from Juhi Chawla "First UNDERSTAND what the thing is & THEN respond. Koi bhi cheez ko todne mein waqt nhi lagta magar jodne mein bahut waqt lagta hai"  #JuhiChawla pic.twitter.com/Ik8KUkCgdv
