| |||
Wednesday, 25th Mar 2015, 2:42 PM IST Yesterday, the National Awards were announced and Vishal Bhardwaj’s ‘Haider’ starring Shahid Kapoor got five National Awards. Vishal, in a press conference, stated that he dedicates the awards to Kashmiri Pandits, but Vishal’s statement didn’t go down well with Anupam Kher who is a Kashmiri Pandit. When Vishal was asked why he opted not to show the Kashmiri Pandit genocide in the film, he said, “The Kashmiri Pandit Genocide was a terrible tragedy. I did not add that part to the film because I felt it would do injustice to the people, we should make another movie on it. I would also like to dedicate the five awards to them.” On Vishal’s statement Anupam tweeted, “While I congratulate Vishal Bhardwaj for National Awards but dedicating them to #KashmiriPandits genocide is such a fraudish thing to do. When was last time Vishal Bhardwaj spoke about d plight of #KashmiriPandits? He in fact humiliated us by doing dance of devil at our temple.” Now you can enjoy ad-free experience by downloading India’s first Box Office mobile app from here –Android: http://bit.ly/BOCapsuleMobileApp and iOS: bit.ly/BOCapsuleiOSApp |
