On Monday, Home Minister Amit Shah announced in the Rajya Sabha Parliament that Article 370 of Indian Constitution has been scrapped in Kashmir, which lifts the special status of the state. The state has been bifurcated into two union territories - J&K and Ladakh. The decision has attracted mixed reviews from the B-town celebrities.

Reacting to Article 370 being scrapped in Kashmir, actress Kangana Ranaut said, "Scrapping of article 370 was long due, it is a historic step in the direction of terrorism free nation, I have been emphasising on this for the longest time, and I knew if anyone could achieve this impossible feat that is Mr. Modi, he is not only a visionary he has the required courage and strength of character to make unthinkable a reality ... I congratulate entire Bharat including JnK on this historic day, we are together looking at a very bright future (sic)"
