Being a celebrity comes with its share of scrutiny. Despite many considering the stars as role models, they are not liable to take a stand on issues all the time. Or at least that’s what happened in the case of Amitabh Bachchan. At a promotional event, the 102 Not Out star was asked to comment on the Kathua and Unnao rape cases. The Bollywood legend refused to say anything in particular and his “no comment” stance didn’t go down well with many, including Pooja Bhatt.
At the launch of song “Badumbaaa” in Mumbai recently, Amitabh was asked to comment on the big issue considering he is the brand ambassador of the ‘Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao’ movement. Choosing his words wisely, Big B said, “Mujhe uss vishay par charcha karne mein ghinn aati hai. So uss vishay ko uchhalo mat (I feel disgusted to even discuss this issue. So, please don’t bring this up. It is terrible to even talk about it).”
This infuriated Pooja Bhatt who quickly took to Twitter and took a dig at Big B, reminding of his own award-winning film Pink. “I can’t help being reminded of a film called #Pink. Can our images on screen please be reflected in reality? ??” she wrote.
