Mumbai/IBNS: Actress Priyanka Chopra is the latest from Bollywood to react to the rape and murder of a 31-year-old lady trainee doctor at Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College and Hospital amid the growing anger over the incident that has raised questions on women's safety at workplace and brought the state administration under scanner.


Priyanka dropped a sad emoticon sharing a news story related to the protests against the incident.

Kareena Kapoor Khan, Ayushmann Khurrana, Alia Bhatt, Kriti Sanon were among the Bollywood actors who spoke on the issue and demanded justice for the victim.

In an Instagram post, Kareena wrote, "12 years later, the same story, the same protest. But we are still waiting for change."

"Another brutal rape. Another day of realisation that women are not safe, anywhere. Another horrific atrocity to remind us that it's been over a decade since the Nirbhaya tragedy, but still nothing much have changed," Alia posted on Instagram.

Alia continued by providing crime statistics from 2022:  "Let the statistics speak: 30% of India's doctors and 80% of our nursing staff are women. In an environment of growing violence against medical personnel, it's the women who are more vulnerable. Since 2022, there has been a 4% increase in crimes against women, over 20% of which involve rape and assault. Nearly 90 rapes a day were reported in India in 2022."

She added, "How are we, as women, supposed to feel? How are we supposed to go to work or go about our daily lives with this weighing on our minds? This horrific incident has once again reminded us that women disproportionately bear the burden of ensuring their own safety."

Ayushmann Khurrana took to Instagram to voice his deep disappointment regarding the Kolkata rape case by sharing a poem titled Kaash Mei Bhi Ladka Hota ("I Wish I Were a Boy").

In this heartbreaking piece, Ayushmann depicted the raw emotions and fears that many women experience daily. The poem reflects on how life would be different if women didn't have to constantly worry about their safety—how they could walk freely at night, sleep without the need for locks, and live without the constant fear of violence.
