From Swara Bhasker to Richa Chadha, Bollywood reacts sharply to Babri Masjid demolition verdict

Several Bollywood celebrities reacted to the news of the acquittal of BJP veteran LK Advani and 31 others accused in demolition of Babri mosque case that goes back to December 6, 1992. The court said that the evidence against them was not “strong enough” to call their actions ‘pre-planned’. B-Town celebrities took to their verified Twitter accounts to react to the development – this is what they had to say.

Filmmaker Anubhav Sinha’s sarcastic tweets read as, “Congratulations Mr Lal Krishna Advani you are now acquitted of the charges of single-handedly drawing a bloody line across the soul of this country. May God give you a very long life.”

Actress Swara Bhasker tweeted in hindi: "Babri masjid khud hi gir gaya tha (the Babri masjid had fallen by itself)."

Filmmaker Hansal Mehta was also caustic in his comment, tweeting: “The Babri Masjid Demolition was an Act of God.”

Actress Richa Chadha also tweeted after the verdict was pronounced. In a cryptic post, she spoke of a court ‘above’ where justice will not be denied. She tweeted in Hindi: "There is a court above this place, where there is light and not darkness."

Actress Gauahar Khan said: "But of course! It was an earthquake! Hahahhaha. The joke is on us!"

Actor-politician Prakash Raj tweeted: "#BabriMasjidDemolitionCase HIT n RUN case .. DRIVERS acquitted.. JUSTICE arrested and BURIED .. NEW INDIA #JustAsking."

Filmmaker Onir's message read like a shrug: “Did not expect it to be any different.”

Director Anil Sharma wrote: “Babri case mein sabhi aaropi bari (no one's guilty).. congratulations.”

Actor Sushant Singh expressed: "Na koi aya tha, na kisi ne koi masjid banai thi (Nobody had come, nobody had constructed a mosque) #RIPJustice."
