Patriotism Only on Screen? A Wake-Up Call to Bollywood Stars

Content Warning: This article contains strong opinions, emotional commentary, and references to political and national issues. Reader discretion is advised.

Sometimes, the time to say things is not right or wrong, but the things are right or wrong. Once, I was thinking a lot about something, and I thought I should not talk about it because you might forget it, but I will neither forget these things nor let you forget them.

Well, guys, as you know, what has happened in India in the last few days, and at what level? It means that India was almost in a situation of war, which caused a lot of confusion and chaos.

Now, in the middle of this, Operation Sindoor was carried out, and the base camps of the terrorists were blown up. Pakistan also came in response, and we saw almost a war-like tension.

Many people were making numerous statements about this, but the industry was almost silent. It is not that no one raised their voice, but the big actors of this industry were speechless.

Yes, I'm talking about some actors like Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, and Hrithik who proudly show their patriotism on the big screen. But when talking about these things in the real world, they become silent. I mean, not a single tweet about Operation Sindoor.

Now, what was stopping them? Who was stopping them? You have gained so much popularity in India. Your fans are so blind towards you, so at least in this tough time, you should have stood up for your country.

But no, you were silent for a few crores of rupees. Why? Because you have fans on Pakistan's side, too. They will get offended. They might get angry. What if India gets angry? Have you ever thought about this?

And I would say whatever your ideology is, whether you are following the right wing or the left wing. No issues. But when it comes to the country, you need to stand together.

This time, even the opposition was with them. Look at OVC's statements; they were speaking so boldly, but there is nothing here.

Look, we will tolerate nepotism, favouritism, black money, and white money for once. But how can we accept this from people who fail to stand up for the country?

On one hand, R. Madhavan, Akshay Kumar, and Sanjay Dutt spoke openly and freely, expressing their support.

Look at Adnan Sami. He is a Pakistani. He has now taken Indian citizenship.

Look at his tweets. How brutally he has exposed his countrymen.

And on the other hand, there are big Bollywood actors and superstars who are eating from India but singing songs from Pakistan.

Just look at Ayushman Khurana, he is singing Dil Dil Pakistan. Yes, I know that video is old. But were there no attacks on India before? Just think about this thing. An Indian is singing Dil Dil Pakistan. Will any Pakistani sing Dil Dil Hindustan? This is a very wild thought, and the answer is a definite no.

Even the smallest actors of Pakistan were fully supporting Pakistan. This is Patriotism. And then there are actors here, they did not even open their mouths. Why? They will suffer a loss.

Aamir Khan was right to a great extent in all this. He has posted. He has shown that yes, we are with the Indian army. So, I liked that thing. But what about these artists?

When Pakistani artists were banned, listen to a statement by Shah Rukh Khan: "I truly believe Pakistani players are the best T20 players in the world. They are the champions, they are wonderful." I am mentioning the entire interview here, you can listen to it comfortably.

And Salman Khan, who was appealing to vote for Baba Siddique in front of Narendra Modi Ji.

So this guy is talking so boldly about voting for another politician in front of a politician. Doesn't he have enough guts to openly support our country? Think about it.

I was heartbroken. Heartbroken. I mean, we have been watching these artists since childhood. We idealize them. We worship them. And what do they do? Nothing.

The situation in the South is also the same, they are also not innocent. Some artists like Mohan Lal Sir, Mammootty, Yash, and Nani also tweeted. But apart from them, what about the rest? Everyone is silent.

And not only these people, Saif Ali Khan, Farhan Khan Akter, Kareena Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra, all of them are such celebrities who didn't open their mouths.

And forget Ranveer Allahbadia, I have not seen a more foolish creature in the whole world than him. He teaches us to first commit mistakes. After that shed some naughty tears and went around saying sorry again and again.

Everyone knows the stupidity he committed in India's Got Talent as well. My message is that you have done so many podcasts, so many people from Defence have come to your podcast and told what actually happens in the field, doesn't your heart sweat? And how do you fall asleep while talking about all these things?

It is shameful for our Indian society that we are rearing and sheltering such a snake and making it so big that the number of its followers is in the millions. What influence are you having on the minds and hearts of people? Even children follow you. And what message are you giving to the elders?

Look, we will not talk about this whole issue from a political angle because that is not our zone. But there is a simple formula that when big artists of the country talk on these platforms, then this matter reaches the global media, and from there, they are discussed all over the world. Due to this, our country gets support.

But neither did they talk, nor did the issue come up, and it is very heartbreaking to see that such people who have become millionaires and billionaires by selling patriotism, but when it comes to actually supporting the country, they remain silent.

They scream at the top of their voices about CAA and NRC. But when the country is attacked, they become silent.

I felt very bad about this, I am telling you the truth and I am telling you this openly from now on.

When the movies of these people will release, I will openly remind you of all these things at that time too and then I will leave it to you to decide what to do now because maybe their fans will forget, maybe the general audience will forget.

But I will neither forget these things nor will I let anyone of you forget them.
