Former adult star Mia Khalifa has responded to now-viral pictures of a group of people in Delhi holding placards with slogans against her at a demonstration against Western personalities. The former star said she is still standing with farmers after her comment earlier that drew sharp reactions.
A tweet by international pop star Rihanna on Tuesday triggered a wave of support for protesting farmers with several global celebrities, activists and politicians expressing their solidarity with them. Khalifa too had shared a tweet.
She took to Twitter again and shared a picture from a protest by a group of people, holding placards and posters of her, Rihanna and Swedish teen climate activist Greta Thunberg.
One of the placards read, “Mia Khalifa regains consciousness.” To which the Lebanese American artiste wrote “Confirming I have in fact regained consciousness and would like to thank you for your concern, albeit unnecessary. Still standing with the farmers, though.”

Tens of thousands of farmers have been protesting at three border points on the outskirts of Delhi demanding a complete repeal of the three farm laws. Many global celebrities turned their attention to this issue which was condemned by the Centre saying “vested interest groups trying to enforce their agenda on these protests.”
