Ever since the death of Sushant Singh Rajput many questions have been raised on the Bollywood industry and some celebrities work ethics. Many are alleging that all the controversies are tarnishing the image of Bollywood film industry. Now, Nawazuddin Siddiqui has recently given a statement regarding this.
Nawaz said that if the image of Bollywood is shown to be negative, then where will the millions of people associated with the industry, who are completely dependent on it, go?
On being asked, what's Nawaz take is when people compare Bollywood industry to a gutter, the actor replied, "This is not good. Bollywood is not just 20-22 people, it’s lakhs of people. It’s an entire industry, thousands of makeup people, spot boys, music industry, singers, set designers. It’s a growing industry, who pays taxes."
"Aap industry ko ajeeb names bolte hain- blackhole, galat hai. Theek hai, agar koi galat hai, voh har jagah hota hai, aisi baat nahi hai. It’s wrong to target the entire industry. To call a growing industry that… we have lakhs of talented people in our country, who want to come into this industry. If you show our industry in such a light, and show such a picture, where will those lakhs of talented people go?," added Nawaz.
Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut had compared Bollywood industry to a gutter after 38 film bodies and producers filed a suit against a few media houses and journalists for defaming the film industry.
Kangana had wrote on his Twitter, "Bullywood the gutter of drugs, exploitation, nepotism and jihad it’s lid is off instead of cleaning this gutter #BollywoodStrikesBack well file a case on me also, till the time I am alive I will continue to expose you all #BollywoodStrikesBack."
