There
appears a lack of unity on the way different personalities of the film industry
feel about the debate over banning Pakistani artistes, stated Ajay
Devgan.
A lot
has been said on this subject and reviews of opinions show that there are
divisions in the film industry. In the initial stages when the debate commenced
after MNS sought a ban on Pakistani artistes, the first casualty was Karan
Johar. He spoke boldly on the issue and disagreed with MNS and as a result he
had to face the ire of the politicians, not just him, evenSalman Khan said similar stuff when he was asked for
his comment which centred around the fact that artistes are not terrorists and
came to India with government visas. He also was subjected to criticism.
Those
who sided and agreed with Karan were Varun Dhawan, Sidharth
Malhotra and even
Sushant Singh Rajput and they too had to face the ire of the various political
parties and no support from their own industry people.
Opposing
voices came from Anupam Kher, Ashoke
Pandit and Nana
Patekar and what
stood out was the difference of opinion between Salman Khan and his longtime
friend Ajay Devgan. It was surprising to see him taking sides with those who
were opposite to Salman Khan.
When comments were sought from Ajay Devgan whether he felt upset
about differing opinions. he said, “Upset in the sense, it’s saddening, it is
saddening. I don’t know what the reasons are and I don’t even believe they are
human beings who are scared at this point of time.
