After superstars like Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan stirred the hornet’s nest with their comments on the growing intolerance in the country, critically-acclaimed actress and filmmaker Nandita Das says curbs on freedom of expression are taking a ‘dangerous’ turn and speaking up against such issues is the only way out.
The actress shared that the country needs to stand up and take a stance to save the democracy from fading away in the swirl of protests.
“I don’t think freedom of expression has ever been so threatened. It is something which is dangerous and the only way to counter it is to not be fearful. It is time to speak up and when there are more of us speaking up then nobody is isolated,” Nandita told IANS on the sidelines of Film Bazaar.
