While a few Bollywood celebs like Taapsee Pannu, Richa Chadha, Swara Bhasker, Anurag Kashyap and Anubhav Sinha among others have condemned the brutal attack on JNU students and teachers, the A-listers like Amitabh Bachchan, Aamir Khan, Shah Rukh, and Akshay Kumar have not spoken anything about the incident.
Tanushree Dutta has also commented on the violence and targeted the male actors of Bollywood who haven’t spoken about the attack. Though she didn’t take anyone’s name, it was obvious that she was referring to the A-listers.
As reported by IANS, Tanushree told, “Men in Bollywood only know how to gang up against women and youngsters, take away their work and livelihood, and throw insults at them. They don’t know how to stand with women and young people and support them for justice. Don’t expect much from these Bollywood muscle men. All their machismo is only for show and box-office ticket sales. They are more like eunuchs in real life. In fact, I think eunuchs have more male integrity than our Bollywood heroes.”
From Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh to Aamir Khan, many A-listers faced backlash from netizens for voicing their opinion on the issue.
Deepika Padukone joined the protest that was in JNU recently. Many Bollywood celebs lauded her courage in expressing her solidarity with the students and teachers. She also received flak by a section of netizens.
