In a social media post, Bhumi’s former acting coach, Shruti Desai, criticised the actor’s comments on student protesters, alleging that Bhumi herself had been disrespectful towards teachers during her time at a Mumbai-based acting school. Unfortunately for me, I also remember how disrespectful, almost disdainful, you were about your teachers.

Following the backlash, Bhumi shared another video condemning the rape and death threats allegedly directed at female protesters, calling out online abuse and intimidation. Several social media users argued that the actor had still not addressed the issues at the heart of the students’ protest.
