जावेद अख्तर ने बॉलीवुड की चुप्पी पर सवाल उठाए, बोले- लोग अपोलिटिकल होते हैं.
New Delhi. Famous lyricist and screenwriter Javed Akhtar is known for his impunity. Javed Akhtar, who often said that on national issues, has recently talked about the silence of Bollywood celebrities after ‘Operation Sindoor’. After the terrorist attack in Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir, India showed Pakistan a mirror. Where Indians praised the government’s move. The same, after ‘Operation Sindoor’, the silence of Bollywood celebrities kept the silence. Recently, Javed Saheb talked about this.
An interview with ‘The Lalantop’ was talked to Javed Akhtar. When asked why many well -known actors and filmmakers are avoiding commenting on this ‘Operation Sindoor’ or appreciating the government’s efforts publicly? However, Javed Akhtar is the person who has often praised the government’s strict stand against terrorism. He responded to the silence of Bollywood celebs bluntly.
‘People are also additional’
He said, ‘I talked about it, I did not remain silent. Sometimes people do not like me, sometimes they do. But I say what I feel true. Now who doesn’t speak, how will I know? Many people are also additional.
When I was young…
Recalling his early days, Javed Akhtar further said, ‘Look, when I was young, even though I came from a politically aware and very vocal family. But when my films were getting a hit one after the other, I had no idea what was going on in politics. Perhaps I did not even read the newspaper.
Some people are busy earning money
The lyricist further said that this happens. Some people are just busy with their work… If they are not speaking, then it is fine. What is the big deal? Some people are speaking. Some are following different goals… they want to earn more money or fame. Let them do. It is not necessary that everyone speaks, or we ask why they did not speak.
When Javed responded to businessman
Javed again shared a recent incident in which a well -known businessman spoke to him on the subject. Businessman said- ‘Your Bollywood people, nationalist films make a lot… but everyone is silent on this matter’. Javed said, I replied, ‘First, the word’ Bollywood ‘is an anti -national name. Do you call the Indian film industry ‘Bollywood’? In the world, if an industry can compete with Hollywood, it is an Indian film industry. It has almost erased European cinema. Our movies are released in 136-137 countries on average and you call it Bollywood?
Have you been able to speak against government policy or any rule?
Javed highlighted the hypocrisy of always expecting the stand from the artists, while others themselves shy away from doing so. ‘And if you say that a person should speak on every issue… then stand and tell me, in the last 15 years, you are a businessman, have you ever spoken against any government policy, taxation, or any rule that you have not liked? Then why are you saying that other people do not speak? Do you speak As soon as you get a little scared, you become silent. Someone should expect to speak only when they speak themselves. When it is convenient to speak, it is easy to speak… Try to speak if there is a risk.
