Bollywood celebrities like Anurag Kashyap, Gauri Shinde and Hansal Mehta have lauded Hollywood veteran Meryl Streep’s 74th Golden Globe Awards speech in which she slammed US President-elect Donald Trump.
Streep, who was was honoured with the Cecil B DeMille Award at the gala, said: “Hollywood is crawling with outsiders and foreigners, and if you kick us all out, you’ll have nothing to watch except for football and mixed martial arts, which are not arts.”
Praising her courage to put forth her views, filmmaker Anurag Kashyap tweeted: “We in our film industry don’t even need to give a speech like Meryl Streep… If we just start standing up with those who actually speak up.”
Filmmaker Gauri Shinde said: “Let’s copy their grace, their guts, not their films. Meryl Streep the real true hero, the star. Golden Globes.”
