Kamal Haasan: Does it have to be your own daughter for you to understand? She could've been mine. I feel angry as a man, father and a citizen for failing Asifa. I am sorry my child we didn't make this country safe enough for you. I will fight for justice at least for future kids like you. We mourn you and won't forget you.
Twinkle Khanna: I look at this first as a mother and it's completely heartbreaking. As a woman I feel rage and as an Indian I am absolutely ashamed!

Arjun Rampal: Devastated. Heard news here in Lisbon, eight-year-old girl, held captive in a temple, gang raped,tortured and drugged over four days and then brutally murdered. Read absurd statements where it's being politicised in the name of religion. Shame on our country if justice won't prevail.
Shraddha: Shocking to say the least. Cannot believe it. Praying for justice for Asifa. To starve, drug, rape and then murder an eight-year-old child. Can't believe this has happened. Sounds horrifying but imagine her horror when she went through it all.
Bhumi Pednekar: Ashamed, shaken and so angry. Where are we headed? How can your soul let you do this. Rape needs to stop. We need stricter laws. Punish them. Set a strong example. Let's not fail Asifa and the various victims fallen prey to this sick act justice For Asifa.
Hansal Mehta: When you say you are Hindu and a nationalist are you trying to say that you are an intolerant hate-monger and rapist? If the answer is no, then condemn those who have raped Asifa. Show your nationalism by protesting against those who use religion as a pretext to justify crime.
Omung Kumar: Ashamed to be a man, ashamed of the justice system, ashamed of these politicians, ashamed to be an Indian right now. Justice for Asifa.
Taapsee Pannu: So now a crime like rape is also basis country and religion. That is what we have stooped down to with our analysis. Can we stop shamelessly pointing fingers and accept that we have failed Asifa as a nation and made a shameless joke out of this heinous crime!
Parineeti Chopra:

Sidharth Malhotra: Filled with so much anger and disgust over what has happened with Asifa. Only demons would inflict cruelty like this on an eight-year-old. Pray for her soul, fight for Justice for Asifa. These atrocities need to end and it needs to end now.
Varun Dhawan:
Aditi Rao Hydari: They are monsters, they drugged, raped and murdered a little girl. They are monsters, they defended the crime in the name of religion. We are monsters if we don't raise our voices and make sure they are punished.
Ayushmann Khurrana: A child deserves only love irrespective of caste, colour, religion. And a rapist deserves only punishment irrespective of caste, colour, religion. Asifa.
Vishal Dadlani: Modi and friends, if you do not speak up now, you are nothing more than gas. Unnao and Kathua demand your personal intervention. Make sure the guilty are arrested and punished, and if you can't, be honest to India for once, and resign. You don't deserve to be where you are.
