Sonam Kapoor:u00a0I' m really shocked and taken aback with the recent shameful incident that took place in Mumbai yesterday. A sheer act of cowardice.u00a0I' m appalled! Photojournalist gang-raped in Mumbai, over 20 detained.
Mumbai gangrape: Complete coverage
Karan Johar: Helpless to say the least...words like "devastated".."disgusted" mean nothing at a time like this! #gangerape in my city... I feel ashamed.
Karan Johar
Farhan Akhtar: Dear CM, Home min state, Police Comm and sluggish judiciary... Wish u all were everyday women so you'd truly realise the fear they must feel. There has to be harsher punishment for rape and a fixed time limit within which cases must reach a verdict in court. Wake up system!! Cannot understand if everybody seems to have known this compound is where drug dealers & addicts hung out, why nothing was done earlier?
Bipasha Basu: More shock and more remorse! What about more justice and justice which would scare and stop these filthy animals who live in human skin!u00a0Lets just accept it! We are not safe! #MumbaiGangRape
Alia Bhatt: Can't even say that am shocked anymore! Who says girls should be sensible and careful at night? It has nothing to do with where or when.. Punishment is the only way to tame the wild. They may not understand words but they will surely understand action. It's the uneducated, misinformed section of our society who have skewed ideas of masculinity. And it's a very large section.
Genelia D'Souza: Angered and disgusted that no matter what, this brutality keeps growing.. need a stop NOW..severe punishments required.. #Awomansplea
Sidharth Shukla: More than any other bill what we need is the women security bill #MumbaiGangRape

Gul Panag: Sad validation of the fact that NO city in India is safe for women.It is after all the same prevention/enforcement mechanism in use all over.
Sophie Choudry: A young photographer gangraped, her colleague thrashed at 5pm in Mahalaxmi area Mumbai. Still no fear..Rapists feel they can get away! Economy is down, corruption on the rise and state of law and order is shameful. Are we supposed to put up with this till next election? #SHAME. When I moved from London to Mumbai, I used to pride myself in saying I live in one of the safest cities in the world. The joke is on me! We are a nation that's becoming bankrupt on every front: financially, emotionally, mentally. Feel helpless and ashamed.
Boman Irani: The innocent yet wise conversation with mom comes to a screeching halt with the news of the Mumbai gang rape. Shame!
Vishal Dadlani: Aaaarrggghh! I hate what we've become! We sit around while politicians do nothing to protect women! Has India's youth become so helpless? Mumbai! City of rapists, molesters and apathetic citizens! Everyone who sits around waiting for shit to solve itself, be ashamed! WE did this! Who, amongst you, is not willing to accept this? If I go and sit on a silent fast at Mantralaya, will you come? We can't take this any more! Enough of these bogus promises from these bogus politicians! We must make our streets, our city safe for women NOW!! Ourselves!! I can't believe this is happening. The Bombay I grew up in, was a city of culture and peace. Mumbai is a heartless city of business and darkness. I'm so angry I have tears in my eyes. I want safety for my family. I want my city back.u00a0When did Indian men become so weak and so scared, that we are unable to protect and respect India's women? Shame. So angry. How did we let India come to this? A country that treats it's women so badly that NO woman has escaped some degree of molestation.
Shekhar Ravjiani: This time, if we don't act, it's over. We will be sealing the fate for all our girl children. It isn't about Mumbai or Delhi. It's about India. And her daughters. We need to find a way to protect them. My heart goes out to the victim and I hope and pray that God gives her the strength to make it through this ordeal.
Isha Koppikar: Our system sucks.. Atleast mumbai was considered safe .No city in India is safe for women, no more.Sad very sad. Rapist shud be hung in public and tortured to an extent where any other perpeturator shud shudder even wid the thought of rape.u00a0It's only so much that the law can do, the rest is upon us, lets direct our anger towards the monsters who raped a 22 year old journalist.
Lara Dutta: Since we're becoming more and more depraved and barbaric as a society, why don't we follow thruogh with all barbaric customs, hang rapists in public! An activist has to die for a law to be passed! How many more women need to be raped in order for swifter and apt punishment to be meted out?
