At a time when the entire nation is going through a political turmoil over the government's imposition of the Citizenship Amendment Act 2019 or CAA, Bollywood actress Juhi Chawla feels instead of constantly criticising the government, one should reflect on own conduct.
The actress recently attended an event which aimed to counter “Free Kashmir (narrative), anti-India slogans, false propaganda and clear the misconception" and pointed out that as as artistes, it’s unfair to be questioned about incidents “just for a reaction”. Instead, they should be given time to truly understand the situation. “We are going to work, thinking how to execute our task, then some incident happens somewhere and suddenly the media asks, ‘what do you think about this?’ We haven’t understood the matter, people haven’t understood the matter but you need a reaction," Juhi told a news agency, adding, “Let people understand, whether it’s NRC or CAA, and what’s is it about, why is this being talked about."
She further maintained that it is sad that people talk about division more than unity. “Everyone is quick to talk about dividing. Why don’t we talk about uniting? Why does everyone say ‘what is the government doing, why is it doing this?’ but I say if you point one finger there then three fingers are at you. What are we doing? Let’s be calm, understand the situation,” she signed off by saying.
Work wise, Juhi last teamed up with her old co-star of several films Anil Kapoor in Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga and will now be seen sharing screen space with Rishi Kapoor in his comeback film titled Sharmaji Namkeen.
