UNB, Dhaka :
Bollywood stars Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Amir Khan are drawing criticism from fans for maintaining silence even as violence in the Indian capital claimed 47 lives.
Fans on social media are wondering when the Bollywood superstars will grow a spine and speak up on the issue that has shaken up the country.
Akshay Kumar refused to be drawn into debate about India’s political
landscape but condemned violence and destruction of property, reports Gulf News. Even as influential actors maintain a stoic silence, a handful of actors continue to speak up without a care for the damage it could possibly bring to their carefully-orchestrated brand image. Actors including Sonam Kapoor, Richa Chadha, lyricist Javed Akhtar and director Anurag Kashyap continue to speak up against the senseless bloodshed on the Indian streets.
They condemned the controversial Citizenship Amendment Act perceived to be discriminatory towards Muslims.
