Actor Mark Ruffalo is of the opinion that the Kabul airport must be ‘secured’ and Afghani human rights and women’s rights advocates who have partnered with the US must be allowed to ‘get out.’

We have a responsibility to secure the Kabul airport and get out the Afghani human rights and women’s rights advocates that have been our partners there. Especially the women and their families. This situation is dire. https://t.co/G413rRkBJk

While most of the tweets from these celebrities were met with a nod from the netizens, Swara Bhaskar’s tweet landed her in controversy. Her tweet read, “We can’t be okay with Hindutva terror & be all shocked & devastated at Taliban terror.. & We can’t be chill with #Taliban terror, and then be all indignant about #Hindutva terror! Our humanitarian & ethical values should not be based on the identity of the oppressor or oppressed.”
