For the last several years, this issue has been in discussion that people from Hollywood industry raise their voice against the government, however Bollywood celebrities never put their side on any issue. When the same question was asked to lyricist Javed Akhtar, he said in a low voice that when Hollywood celebrities speak against the government, their houses are not raided by the Enforcement Department or Income Tax Department, but here there is a fear of it. Recently, Javed Akhtar gave an interview to Kapil Sibal. During this, Kapil Sibal asked him, today’s actors do not raise their voice, like Meryl Streep raised her voice in UK. Here everyone is silent, why is it so. On this, Javed Akhtar said in surprise, do you really want to know this, you have no idea what is the reason. When Kapil Sibal said that he really wants to know, Javed Akhtar said, they (Bollywood celebrities) are very famous, by the way what is their economic status. A middle class industrialist can keep this film industry in his pocket. Who among the big people who have money speaks up? Is there anyone who climbs up? No one. Javed Akhtar further said, Meryl Streep gave such a big statement standing up at the Oscars, but there was no income tax raid on her. Whether this is in-security or not, why should I get into this debate, but the perception is this. If this perception, this fear is in the heart, then the person will be scared that brother ED will come, CBI will come, our files will be opened. All these problems are not of the film industry, they are outside the industry. People are the same, doing different works, there is a little more pomp in this work, otherwise people are doing their respective jobs. Let us tell you that even at the time of Operation Sindoor, this issue was in discussion that Pakistani artists are speaking up for their country, but Indian celebs are silent on this. After the ceasefire between India and Pakistan, Salman Khan finally shared a post, although he deleted that too after some time. Similarly, Amitabh Bachchan also did not post anything during the entire Operation Sindoor. After a long time, he shared only one post on the ceasefire.
