Nirbhaya verdict - Karan Johar, Varun Dhawan, Raveena Tandon react to the death sentence

The much-awaited verdict is out and we're rejoicing! Moments ago, a Delhi court pronounced the death sentence for all four of the accused in the gang rape case and murder of 23-year-old Jyoti Singh. 

The horrific incident happened on December 16, 2012, in the Capital - the student was assaulted in a bus in which she was travelling with a male friend. There were six others present, including the driver, all of whom violated the young woman and battered her friend. The victims were stripped and thrown out of the vehicle. The woman died from her injuries 13 days later while undergoing emergency treatment in Singapore.

After years of waiting, today Jyoti 'Nirbhaya' Singh's parents took a sigh of relief and so did the rest of the nation. Also joining in to share their thoughts after the death sentence, were some of our well know B-Town celebs. Let's take a look at what they had to say...
