The voice of public figures like celebrities and journalists remains important and impactful. And in India, they NEVER shy away from taking a stand. As the rupee on Monday fell to an all-time low of ₹77.44 against the U.S. Dollar, some of these influential voices pointed what needs to be said – rightly so.
