@katyperry no matter how big star you're, You should respect the immigration laws of India. & that immigration officer didn't say anything & showed utmost respect towards you because of your stardom but don't take advantage of this. #respectAll https://t.co/I9UrldAWyM

@katyperry You did an event in Mumbai.....But why didn't you get time to show your passport to security officer at Mumbai Airport? ....No artist is bigger than the rules.....Rule is the rule... Why not call it the ego of fame?......Why take such law-abiding people back to India?

Katy, who is otherwise known for her fondness for India, has not reacted to the attacks.
The singer, along with international pop-sensation Dua Lipa was in Mumbai to perform at a music festival hosted by Chinese smartphone-maker OnePlus on Sunday.
Indian director and producer Karan Johar hosted a star-studded welcome party for the American singer that was attended by Bollywood A-listers, including Shah Rukh Khan, Aishwarya Rai, Alia Bhatt, Anushka Sharma, Arjun Kapoor and Shahid Kapoor.
