Javed Akhtar, Shabana Azmi share frame with Kanhaiya Kumar, get trolled by netizens

Actress Shabana Azmi posted a picture on Twitter, which shows her sharing the frame with her husband Javed Akhtar and Kanhaiya Kumar, student leader from Jawaharlal Nehru University, whom she called "hope" in the caption. "Hope arrives in the form of #Kanhaiya Kumar [sic]," she tweeted.

Within a few hours, Shabana was trolled on social media for the picture with Kanhaiya.

Here are a few tweets:

You are entitled to your views but i disagree. People like indra nooyi, irfaan khan, hima das, suresh prabhu inspire hope. People who made positive contribution despite all odds. Negativity and playing victim never inspires hope only despair.

Excuse me. Apako is adami se kya hope dikhta hai. Yeh wohi aadami hai Jo humare desh Mai rehke bolta hai ki "Bharat Tere tukde honge. Afazar hum sharminda hai Tere qatil zinda hai". This is such a shame.

@MohdMuzzammilK @BhagwatDeora Kanhaiya Kumar is more deadly & worse than terrorists bcoz terrorists operate openly.Armed forces & Police can terminate their life span during encounter.But K Kumar is a slow poison to the unity & diversity of India.His methodology is very deadly.

A few talked positively about the image, many have questioned her for calling him "hope".

Recently, Javed Akhtar was honoured with the 'Person of the Year' award by the Indian Music Industry for the tremendous work he has done for the music industry.
