A BJP leader is willing to give Rs 10,000 to anyone who would slap Sanjay Leela Bhansali

The assault on Sanjay Leela Bhansali has shocked one and all in the whole Bollywood. Celebrities are condemning the shameful way in which the senior director was pulled, slapped, with his clothes torn, by the members of a certain Karni Sena who claimed Bhansali was going to show a love story between Alauddin Khilji and Queen Padmavati, for the latter is a revered figure in Rajasthan.

Reports claim that the production house and the organization have now come on the same platform and mutually decided to end things on a peaceful note. However, there are certain elements who want to cash in on anything religious.

A certain BJP leader named Akhilesh Khandelwal who is the chairman of MPs Hosangabad Municipal Corporation, has apparently announced a prize money of Rs 10,000 on anyone who slaps Sanjay Leela Bhansali with a shoe.

Preposterous, isn’t it? Well, there is seriously no dearth of idiots in our country, and this is just another example of how desperate one can be to achieve two-minute fame. (Also Read: What! Sanjay Leela Bhansali agrees to change the name of ‘Padmavati’?)

‘Padmavati’ starring Ranveer Singh as Alauddin Khilji, Deepika Padukone as Padmavati and Shahid Kapoor as Raja Rawal Ratan Singh is going to hit the theartes on November 17, this year.
