Where many educationalists and scholars expressed their agitation over the VC's comment on girls and the TOI ban; actors are also expressing their displeasure over the issue. Famous bollywood and Marathi film actress Sonali Kulkarni also shared her displeasure on the overall controversy. The actress said, "In a country where people have struggled so hard to obtain these rights (education for girls), university authorities should not restrict any one gender from a place like library. There is some insecurity deep down from where these decisions (to ban TOI) are coming from."
