Bollywood actors Paresh Rawal, Gul Panag and Vikrant Massey on Monday congratulated the Centre for abolishing Article 370 that gives special status to Jammu and Kashmir.
Home Minister Amit Shah moved the resolution on Article 370 and a separate bill to bifurcate the state into two separate union territories of Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh.
Reacting to the news, Rawal, a former BJP MP, said the country had become one in its truest sense today.
"Today is the true and complete independence of our motherland. Today in the true sense of the word INDIA becomes ONE! Jai Hind," the actor wrote on Twitter.
Panag hailed the decision as "an incredibly bold move".
"I do hope that the lives of the average Kashmiri will change for the better in the future. And also, for now, that their connectivity is restored so we can hear what they have to say too. #370Abolished," she added.
Veteran actor Anupam Kher said, "I have woken up in NY to the best news of my life about Kashmir.... Congratulations India."
He had on Sunday posted a cryptic tweet, saying, "Kashmir Solution has begun."
Mirza wished for the "peace, prosperity and sustainable development for the people of #Ladakh and #JammuAndKashmir."
