If battling the COVID-19 pandemic was not enough, India also has had to deal with border skirmishes with China. Amid the row, engineer-turned-education reformer Sonam Wangchuk gave out a clarion call to boycott Chinese products to express his discontent with the Chinese government, and now celebrities are joining in. Milind Soman made headlines for uninstalling the Chinese app TikTok in support of Wangchuk.

Now, Amrita Rao also joined in the movement. The actor announced on Twitter that she had just deleted her TikTok account. The Main Hoon Na star also tagged Sonam Wangchuk and used the hashtag #BoycottMadeInChina and #DeleteTikTok.

Wangchuk in his video had urged all to uninstall China-made software in a week and hardware in a year, so that was another of her hashtags. Moreover, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi calling for a self-reliant campaign Atmanirbhar Bharat to promote the use of local products, Amrita used that as a hashtag too.
