    Twitter divided over Kher's stance
  • Kher's stance was praised by social activist and filmaker Asoke Pandit and Paresh Rawal.

    However, many on Twitter came out against Kher saying that if the returning of the awards was an insult to the jury, what was his agenda.

    Another said that Kher was "confused whether he is actor, host, protester, politician, debater or a blind Modi bhakt".
