The clock has struck 12 and starting tonight, all the currency with the denominations of 500 and 1000 will be deemed redundant. The step has been reinforced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in order to curb the practice of black money. Though many sane souls are admiring and welcoming the bold step, it has led to inconvenience too, given that the ATMs will not be operative for the coming two days. However, every revolutionary change brings some problems with it, so we have to take it in a positive way.
Amongst a bevy of reactions, we were obviously curious to know that of our Bollywood celebrities and they surely did not disappoint us. Here are some of the tweets and reactions that we have collated for you.
