Bollywood, as an industry, had got the tag of being ‘apolitical’ and not taking any sides. But, times are changing and many Bollywood celebs are now raising their voice and also being part of the political process. India’s Lok Sabha elections are coming to an end as the last phase will be concluded on May 19. Now, Vivek Oberoi has blasted legendary actor Kamal Haasan. Yes, you have read it right!
While campaigning for his political party Makkal Needhi Maiam’s candidate for the May 19 Assembly by-election in Aravakuruchi in Karur district on Sunday, Haasan said, “The first terrorist of an independent India was a Hindu – Nathuram Godse.”
Vivek Oberoi is a well-known sympathiser of BJP and he was not impressed and registered his dissent. The actor took to his Twitter account and wrote, “Dear Kamal sir, you are a great artist. Just like art has no religion, terror has no religion either! You can say Ghodse was a terrorist, why would you specify ‘Hindu’ ? Is it because you were in a Muslim dominated area looking for votes? @ikamalhaasan.”

For those who are unaware, Nathuram Godse had assassinated the father of the nation i.e. Mahatma Gandhi.
