Sharing a note on X (formerly Twitter), the actress stressed the need to protect the original intent of the protests and also called for constructive dialogue between all stakeholders. She wrote, "While it’s important to support our students and ask for educational reforms that positively impact the future of our youth, it’s also very important that peaceful protests by students are not hijacked by anti-national elements to create chaos and change the nature of the protest.”
