Following pop singer Rihanna and famed young environmentalist Greta Thunberg, adult movie star Mia Khalifa has raised her voice in favour of the protesting farmers. 

Taking to Twitter, the sassy 27-year-old former porn-star shared an image of an elderly Sikh man surrounded by protesters while sarcastically targeting people who have called the protesting farmers "paid actors" in the past. 

​Khalifa's tweet quickly garnered over 15,000 re-tweets and more than 51,000 likes on the micro-bogging site.

Netizens in India, however, took the opportunity to lighten the otherwise tense situation on Twitter by sharing hilarious memes featuring Khalifa in context with the protests.

​In one of her tweets, Khalifa also called the Indian government's decision to snap internet connections in parts of Delhi a violation of human rights.

​International celebrities turned their attention to the ongoing farmer protests in India after singer Rihanna tweeted how shocked she was at the events. "Why aren’t we talking about it?", Rihanna tweeted.
