Badminton star Jwala Gutta and former India cricketer Aakash Chopra came out in support of Gurmehar Kaur, whose social media posts on the Ramjas College row has created a stir in social media. Chopra backed former Indian cricketer Gautam Gambhir who defended Gurmehar's right to free speech. "If you have an opinion, voice it, but voice it sensibly," Chopra told NDTV. Jwala, on the other hand, told NDTV that "social media is there to express yourself but the consequence is that I have had to face a lot of negativity and criticism".
