“Before trying to get your “activism” points maybe do some research,” wrote one user, while one shared: “She already did way before while you were still sleeping on the matter. Are u picking up on every other Indian celebrity like this???”

“Priyanka Chopra has already shown support for farmers back in december, and is one of the few mainstream actors to speak up . Odd that you would single out someone who was one of the first to raise attention to this,” shared a user.

Last week, Mia came out in support of the farmers, tweeting: “What in the human rights violations is going on?! They cut the internet around New Delhi?! #FarmersProtest.”

On allegations that foreign celebrities were being paid to tweet in favour of the farmers, she retorted: “Paid actors, huh? Quite the casting director, I hope they’re not overlooked during awards season. I stand with the farmers. #FarmersProtest.”

Mia’s tweet came after posts by international pop sensation Rihanna and Greta Thunberg expressing concern for the protesting farmers.
