“People are bursting crackers. Just FYI. The dogs are freaking out. Do people think it”s Diwali? I”m so confused,” Sonam Kapoor tweeted.
In a separate tweet, the actress expressed concern for the wildlife and shared: “There were complete peace and quiet, and now the birds, dogs, and sirens are freaking out in south Delhi because some morons decided to burst firecrackers tonight.”
Richa Chadha also seemed irritated in her tweet: “Why crackers? Why?”
Filmmaker Hansal Mehta expressed: “My neighbours lit diyas, candles and then chanted Go Corona Go, idhar se nikal aur kabhi waapas mat aana. Then they kicked a pot that cracked. Then they clapped in unison. Then crackers were burst elsewhere. I was writing.”
Actor Adil Hussain shared: “We are with Dia! Some people are bursting crackers in South Delhi!”
