While most of social media lauded Rihanna for speaking out for the cause as many influential celebrities in India itself have stayed mum about the entire situation, a section of social media users -mostly BJP supporters and actress Kangama Ranaut trolled the singer accusing her of not knowing of facts about the situation. They termed the protesting farmers terrorists.
