B-town is appalled by the 'shameful' attack on ace filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali on the sets of 'Padmavati' by members of Rajput Karni Sena.

The behaviour of the activists did not go well with anyone in the Bollywood fraternity as celebs took to Twitter to condemn the incident and lend their support to Bhansali by creating #IstandbySLB.

Here is what they tweeted:

Kabir Khan: 1st they stop release of films..now they r trying to stop films from being made. Attack on #SanjayLeelaBhansali is SHAMEFUL #IstandbySLB
