Bollywood celebrities Aamir Khan, Shahrukh Khan and a number of other prominent figures from the Hindi film industry have landed in trouble after they were seen supporting Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Gandhi initiative.
Social media users have been expressing their anger over Bollywood celebrities openly supporting an oppressor like Modi, after his government imposed a lock-down in Occupied Kashmir while robbing it off its special status in August.
It was only recently that influential Bollywood celebrities were seen interacting with the Indian premier and endorsing his newly launched project aimed at producing film and TV shows that popularize Mahatma Gandhi and his ideologies.
Ever since, stars like Aamir and Shah Rukh Khan have been receiving backlash from social media users who are slamming them for subscribing to the ideologies of a tyrant like Modi.

I have scoffed at, condescended to, and lectured people for so much as uttering a word about Bollywood. It is low art. It is an assault on one’s intelligence and refinement.
It is also a vehicle for India’s colonial project in Kashmir, its rabid jingoism, and Hindutva fascism. pic.twitter.com/BDTzokNDGs

Don’t expect any better from SRK but Amir Khan, come on yaar, thori si sharam. I can understand silence but actively going and meeting and then declaring Modi ‘really deep’ and ‘inspiring’ at this point in time is a bit much.
