Actor Suniel Shetty recently urged the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Yogi Adityanath to help him to remove the ‘Boycott Bollywood’ stigma in a recent interview. He said that the trend on social media can stop only if he says the word. Moreover, Suneil also stated that even though people think the industry is a bad place, Bollywood makes good movies and he has been a part of it.
Suniel Shetty talks about the Boycott Bollywood trend:
The Main Hoon Na actor told Indian Express, “The hashtag that’s going on, Boycott Bollywood, yeh ruk bhi sakta hai aapke kehne se (it can stop if you say). It is important to spread the word that we are doing good work. One rotten apple is everywhere, but just because of that you can’t call the whole industry rotten. Today people think that Bollywood is not a good place, but we have made such good films here. I was a part of one such film too, when I did Border. I have been a part of many good films. We have to come together and work towards how we can get rid of the Boycott Bollywood hashtag. We have to figure how we can stop this trend.”
Suniel Shetty seeks help from the UP CM:
“Today, if I am Suniel Shetty, it is because of UP and the fans from there. If you take the lead, this can definitely happen. It is of great importance that this stigma that is on us is gone. It is a very strong emotion for me,” said Suniel Shetty. He shared that it saddens him to tell that there is such stigma, as 99 percent of people in the film industry aren’t like that. “Hum din bhar drugs nahi lete, hum galat kaam nahi karte (We don’t do drugs whole day, we don’t do wrong work). Hum achhe kaam se jude hai (We are associated with good work),” Suniel said in the press conference.
Shetty will be next seen in Hera Pheri 3.
