Actor Sushant Singh on Tuesday announced that his association with long-running TV show Savdhaan India has ended following his participation in the protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act.
The actor, who has been part of the show as its host since 2011, shared the news on Twitter, hinting that his participation in the protests may have been the reason behind his exit.
Sushant also said that it was a "small price" to pay for speaking out. "And, my stint with Savdhaan India has ended," Sushant wrote.
Commenting on his post, a user wondered whether it was the "price" he paid for "speaking the truth". To this, the actor said, "A very small price my friend. Otherwise, how will you face Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev and Rajguru?"
Sushant has been speaking out against the CAA for some time now. The actor also condemned the police crackdown on the students of Jamia Millia University on December 15. Jamia turned into a battlefield on Sunday as police entered the campus and used force to quell student protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act.
