Priyanka Chopra, Farhan Akhtar and more celebrities react to the death of an Indian student in the US
An Indian student named Jaahnavi Kandula died in the United States on January 23, 2023. She met with an accident when she was hit by a Seattle police vehicle. A few months after his death, a video of a police officer mocking his death went viral on social media. Many celebrities including Priyanka Chopra, who now lives in the United States, reacted to the video and called it appalling. In the video, two police officers joked about Jaanhnavi’s death and placed value on her life.
Priyanka Chopra reacted to the news on her Insta stories and wrote, “A life is a life.” Once, no value can be placed on it. Farhan Akhtar also reacted to the news and sent his sincere condolences to Jaahnavi Kandula’s family. He also added, “We didn’t know each other but I know that as a student preparing to make her mark in the world, your potential was limitless and your worth immeasurable. Condolences to your family. RIP.” Karthikeya star Nikhil Siddhartha took to his X account and said the video of officers mocking Jaanhnavi’s death was “heartbreaking” and “racist”. On social media, many are demanding justice for Jaanhnavi, including celebrity chef Vikas Khanna.

It’s heartbreaking and racist. Jaahnavi Kandula, a hard-working Indian student, was killed by American cop Kevin Dave, then her death was mocked by Officer Daniel Auderer on camera.
