Following a state-wide ban by the government of Maharashtra on the sale and possession of beef, Bollywood celebrities took to Twitter to express their opinions.

Raveena Tandon: @TandonRaveena: My only take on beef issue that it should not be enforced, it should be optional ... To eat or not to eat, is a personal choice (sic).

Farhan Akhtar: So now in Maharashtra you can have a beef with someone, but you can't have beef with someone.

Ayushmann Khurrana: Beef faal baad! #kaminey

Vir Das: Dear Govt. With beef, let's ban teeth. We can live on vegetable smoothies and this way your politicians can't make hate speeches anymore :-)

Uday Chopra: Beef gets banned … on the plus side, less red meat in our diet is a good thing … on the not so plus side … another step towards a theocratic state.

Vishal Dadlani: I'm vegetarian, so this #BeefBan doesnt affect me personally. But freedom of choice is important, in a country where more than 30% eat beef!

Shruti Seth: Hahahahahahaha "@theghantas: Our reaction when they banned beef in Maharashtra! #BeefBan

Milap Zaveri: I don't eat beef but I don't have any beef with beef! Then why the beep should we beep beef!?

Siddharth Mallya: So if I was to go to someone's house for dinner and they served me a steak, would I automatically become an accessory to the crime? #BeefBan

Nimrat Kaur: No beef. Now no jokes on this please.
