Many Bollywood celebs took to their social media handles and shared thoughts on the judgement. Actress Preity Zinta was one of the first Bollywood celebs to react. She tweeted, “Finally the #Nirbhayacase comes to an end. I wish it would have been faster but I’m happy it’s over. Finally she & her parents are in peace.” Sushmita Sen tweeted, “A Mother’s resilience. Asha Devi sees it through!! Finally some justice!! #NirbhayaDuggaDugga.”

PINK-actress Taapsee Pannu took to Twitter and wrote, “It’s done. Finally. I hope the parents can finally sleep slightly better tonight after YEARS. It’s been a long battle for them. Asha Devi.”

Actor Rishi Kapoor tweeted, “Nirbhaya Justice. Jaisi karni waisi bharni Let this set an example not only in India but world over. Punishment for rape is by death. You have to respect womanhood. Shame on the people who delayed the execution. Jai Hind!”
