"Since I was associated with student movements in the past, I respect student movement. I support their genuine cause always," she added.
Five FTII students were arrested in Pune for illegal confinement after they 'gheraoed' the institute's director Prashant Pathrabe.
The students have been protesting for over two months, demanding the removal of the facility's newly-appointed chairman Gajendra Chauhan.
