Bollywood And Propaganda

[Capt M Kumar]

There is, however, a lesson in his rank stupidity for others in the profession: Actors, directors, screenplay writers, singers, musicians and everybody else involved with the entertainment industry should try and avoid making political comments unless they are sure of what they are saying. This is not about dissenting views or ideological affiliations, but about the national interest which cannot be above an individual’s craving for cheap publicity by making outrageous comments. This is not the first time that we are facing such a situation. In the past too Bollywood actors and directors have tried to grab the media’s attention by making what they consider to be ‘profound’ political statements but are in reality bogus and pretentious expressions of intellectually-challenged minds. One can be an excellent actor or a great director, but that does not make him or her a natural contender for political platforms. Let Salman Khan and his ilk mind their own business. http://www.dailypioneer.com/282892/Why-i...iling.html
