The star shared a series of tweets addressing the attacks that had shaken India since last evening. The 'Serendipity' star had shared videos of the attacks which were tagged as "Video from the assaults". He also shared the quotes of author Arundhati Roy on the current situation in the state.

He wrote in one thread: "Fascists in India trying to set students against each other."

Another tweet reads, "Reports from Delhi are it was a war zone last night - Fascism is not a joke - we use the word with the understanding it's deadly."

The actor also marked a comment on the economy of India, as one of his tweets read: "Indian economy in ICU -- chaos -- civil war."

The 'High Fidelity' actor's series of tweets are in the support of students who got injured during protests against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act in different parts of the country including the national capital.
