Himansh Kohli on banning TikTok: I strongly support the decision

Earlier this week, the government of India banned around 59 Chinese applications, including TikTok, WeChat and UC Browser, citing national security as a major concern. ‘Yaariyan’ actor Himansh Kohli says he strongly supports the government’s decision.

Himansh Kohli recently spoke to Bollywood Bubble about the time he’s spending in self-quarantine amidst the ongoing lockdown.

A statement released by the government said that the applications are engaged in activities “prejudicial to sovereignty and integrity of India, defence of India, the security of the state and public order.” As per a report, there were around 120 million users of the application around the world, this included Bollywood celebrities like Shilpa Shetty, Riteish Deshmukh and Genelia D’Souza, to name a few.

Himansh said, “I strongly support each and every decision made in favour of my country. By banning these apps if it’s somehow useful and if I can contribute in any way, I will be the first person to do that. We all know about the tension between the two countries and there are so many soldiers giving up their life. If somehow the banning of these apps is going to put up a strong message, I will support it again.”
