TV stars Iqbal Khan and Ekta Kaul who belong from Kashmir also reacted to the decision and were all praise for it. Here’s what they said:

Ekta Kaul

The Mere Angne Mein fame actress told Spotboye, “I am very happy for two reasons. One, after getting married, suddenly everything changed for me because I wasn’t a part of the state anymore. I couldn't buy land. I am talking about deprivation of rights. But now, I can finally buy something in the state where I was born and raised." She added, "The state was not growing. Nobody could buy anything. The people were living in a shell. I hope that new job opportunities will open up. This is the second reason I am happy. I personally feel liberated. I think J & K will also feel liberated. Importantly, the flag will not be insulted anymore. I think it's a great step."

Iqbal Khan

Iqbal Khan also reacted to the news and said, "All I want is peace in kashmir, anything done for kashmiris should benifit them and peace should prevail."
