Singer Neha Bhasin slams Bhumi Pednekar for questioning behaviour of protestors: ‘Chup rehna best hai behen’
Here's the latest update from the Bollywood world:
Bhumi Pednekar received significant backlash of late after she put up a post calling out the foul language used by some of the protesters during the CJP-led NEET-UG 2026 protest against Prime Minister Narendra Modi . The star posted on Instagram to advise the youth to show their rage without using insulting language, which she says doesn't represent the country’s culture.
Adding to this, Neha Bhasin has called out Bhumi Pednekar's comments on the student protests. But, the internet was quick to point out that she didn't speak about the students being beaten up, lathi-charged, pelted guns being used at them during the Sansad March on July 20.
Meanwhile, Now singer Neha Bhasin has called out Bhumi in her latest post. She wrote, “I would have really respected our dear PM more if there was calling out of police for openly, inappropriately touching women during the protests as he is offended by the use of gaalis. He himself shared these are kids. But the police is appointed to protect and abide by the law. So why is there no accountability there.”
Notably, She added, “Bhumi Pednekar Lock Upp pe bhi scripted thi aur protests ko lekar bhi. Gooda nahi hai toh chup rehna best hai behen (She was scripted in Lock Upp and also about the protests. Sometimes its best to keep your mouth shut).”

In further updates, Bhumi was in last week's Judgment Day episode of Lock Upp with Huma Qureshi as Janta Ki Awaz. The reality show is hosted by Farah Khan and Riteish Deshmukh .
On top of that, Of late, Bhumi shared a video condemning the use of insulting language directed at Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the protest. She shared, "Looking at the videos surfacing now, the kind of language being used, and the way the youth of our country are speaking — the youth of our country... this isn't how we talk, man. We are talking about someone who holds the highest office in the land today. And it’s not just about the office; would we ever speak like this to the elders in our own homes? Can we really resort to using abusive language?”
She added, "Guys, this isn't our culture; it’s wrong, and this really bothered me — that’s why I wanted to come forward and address this: a country will only progress and move forward when, collectively and unitedly, we discuss our flaws as well as the good things. Our culture and value system form our backbone; we shouldn't stray from them, otherwise, we won't be able to communicate the right things in the right way, and they will never be implemented or lead to change."
