Jai hind, Jyotika.”Slams trolls accusing her of various thingsWhile Jyotika received love for her statement, she also received trolling, with one of them writing, “Looks like the toolkit activated, all the celebrities woke up today to speak in support of CJP not the actual NEET problem.” She hit back, “oooohhh toolkit! Fancy. I thought I wrote I support students, let me check.”When a troll claimed that she had no hits, writing, “lottery film. 4 state award. 4 filmfare award. Yen da ipadi poi solra kulla? sami padam edudhu hit kuduthan (Why are you lying like that, man? He made the movie Saamy and delivered a hit),” she slammed in response, “pls watch system on Amazon n blockbuster shaitaan, dabba cartel, Kaathal in Malyalam n national award winning srikanth. Get your facts clear before doing time pass. Infact not a single flop! Wow.”When a fan hoped for her and her family’s safety, “@jyotika i don't think any other "celebrity" dared to do this.

Thank u for being concerned.”One person commented on her post writing, “Supporting students is fine, Madam. However, you should not encourage students to damage government property or turn their protests into unrelated political issues. If they have genuine concerns, they should fight for their own rights and demands. Instead, some protests end up focusing on issues like Article 370, demanding the Prime Minister's resignation, or other unrelated political activities, which shifts attention away from the students' original concerns.” She hit back, “what about government damaging student heads n body?” referring to the lathi and tear gas use students have been facing.The Chalo Sansad march from Jantar Mantar to the Parliament on July 20, organised by the CJP to demand the resignation of Pradhan, sparked protests across the country after the usage of lathi and tear gas. Prakash Raj, Shabana Azmi and Hanumankind were present at the protest, but since then, numerous celebrities have attended protests in their cities and have spoken up on social media.
