Mixed Responses from the Audience

The actor’s post was met with mixed responses. A section of the audience appreciated his comments, whereas others suggested that his timing was inappropriate. Ever since the Pahalgam attack on April 22, Wendy Bachchan has opted to share only a handful of posts and blog entries, which fueled criticism toward him on the social platforms regarding his ongoing perceived silence.
