Aditi Rao Hydari : I wish concerns of FTII students are heard

The Film and Television Institute of India appoints Gajendra Chauhan as its chairman by the National Democratic Alliance government. Bollywood actress Aditi Rao Hydari says she wants the concerns of the students to be heard as they are aware of what they are doing.

Aditi Rao says, “FTII students know what they are saying and I really wish they are heard as a lot of institutes in the country are suffering because of wrong person as head.”

“I think the person who is chosen to head the institute needs to achieve something in the field of guidance and education. Cinema is a wonderful and unique field where there is amalgamation of so many different streams, there is so much to do and a person who needs to head the institute like this has a huge responsibility,” Aditi told reporters.

Students at FTII have been on strike for more than 50 days demanding the sacking of Gajendra Chauhan, who has been appointed as the chairman of the institute’s Governing Council.

Prior to Aditi Rao, many Bollywood celebrities including Salman Khan, Rishi Kapoor, Varun Dhawan, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Ranbir Kapoor, Anupam Kher, eminent filmmaker Gopalakrishnan, Kiran Rao, Sayeed Mirza and Piyush Mishra have supported the FTII students.
