Posting another tweet where she apparently was answering someone who called the protesting farmers “paid actors”, Mia wrote sarcastically, “Paid actors,” huh? Quite the casting director, I hope they’re not overlooked during awards season. I stand with the farmers. #FarmersProtest.”

While one user accused her of getting paid for her tweet, others tried to find a “Muslim” angle and claimed Mia’s real name is “Mia Khalida”.
