Prajakta was not the only star to show concern over Nepal unrest. Actress Manisha Koirala also spoke out against the violent crackdown on protestors in Nepal, calling it a ‘black day’ for the country. The actress, who is a Nepali and has family living in the country, took to social media to share an image of a blood-soaked show and wrote a message in Nepali.
The translated post read: “Today is a black day for Nepal. When bullets respond to the voice of the people, outrage against corruption and demand for justice.”
Prajakta’s Mismatched co-star, actor Rohit Saraf, took to his Instagram stories and wrote, "To everyone in Nepal...my thoughts and prayers are with you. No struggle should come at the cost of innocent lives. Violence is never the answer. Hoping for dialogue, compassion and peace".
The nationwide unrest is due to the strong protests led by Gen Z demanding digital freedom and government accountability. Post this, the Nepal government has officially lifted its controversial social media ban.
