Lilly Singh has over 9.6 million followers on Instagram. Within two hours of being shared, the post has collected over 88,000 likes.

This, however, isn’t Singh’s first post related to the ongoing farmers’ protest in India. On multiple occasions, she has replied to people showing their support for the protest through social media posts. Just like her response to a solidarity tweet by singer Rihanna.

Since November 2020, the farmers, mainly from Punjab and Haryana, are camping at Delhi’s borders demanding a complete repeal of the three farm laws passed by the centre.
