Rajeev Khandelwal on industry being targeted

During the chat, we asked the actor how the Bollywood industry gets easily offended when a comment is passed on them. Reacting to it, Rajeev says, “The industry is being targeted. It’s like a soft target. I think the industry gets a lot of people a lot of limelight is why the industry is targeted. You just blame people from the industry and it just gets picked up and it becomes the hot thing that happens. It’s because they would not be showing the other issues in the country, but probably they would highlight what a star has said or what a producer remarked. So if the industry gets you a lot of limelight is why you kind of get dragged into it.”
