Following the discovery of a disturbing video dated May 4, 2023, the Manipur Violence has gained popularity and is a hot subject on social media. A group of Meitei men are seen around two Kuki women as they are paraded through a hamlet while they are completely naked. Some of the guys are seen in the disturbing images grabbing the women's intimate areas, which has caused global outrage, disgust, and terror.
The fact that the Manipur issue has received little media attention despite its importance has been a persistent worry. However, more people have begun discussing the issue since the video went public.
Bollywood star Akshay Kumar was one among them and the first to speak out on social media. He tweeted his profound shock and revulsion at seeing the brutality against women in Manipur, and he voiced his hope that those responsible would receive a harsh sentence to prevent further instances of such horrible behaviour.
Take A Look:
Many pictures of the devastation and atrocities did not make it into mainstream media because of a curfew in the affected area. However, Akshay Kumar's admirers praised him for speaking out in favour of the women who have endured persistent suffering.

One user praised him for raising voice and giving this incident attention.
On a side note, 'OMG 2,' the next film starring Akshay Kumar, has also made headlines. In the movie, he will play the part of Lord Mahadev. After receiving numerous reviews, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) came under fire for giving the film 'Adipurush' a clean bill of health.
In addition, there were rumours that 'OMG 2' will feature an LGBTQ theme, although actor Pankaj Tripathi dismissed these claims. The movie's song 'Oonchi Oonchi Waadi' is currently garnering a lot of worldwide acclaim.
