Last year, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Aamir Khan starrer Laal Singh Chaddha also faced the boycott trend on social media.
2022 was not easy for Bollywood! While many films ruled the box office, others faced the boycott trend on social media. Be it Akshay Kumar’s Samrat Prithviraj, Ranbir Kapoor’s Brahmastra or Aamir Khan’s Laal Singh Chaddha, several big films have come under attack on social media for various reasons. Kareena Kapoor Khan, who was also a part of Laal Singh Chaddha, recently reacted to these ‘Boycott Bollywood’ calls and shared that without films there would be no entertainment.
Kareena spoke about the boycott trends during the Indian Chamber of Commerce-Young Leaders Forum event in Kolkata when she said, “I don’t agree with it at all. How will we entertain if that happens, that joy in your life?” And how will happiness come, which, I think, everyone needs. And which cinema and films are promising, which we have always done, which films have always done. If films are not there, then how will be the entertainment?”
Kareena’s last film Laal Singh Chaddha also fell victim to the boycott culture during its release last year. Netizens took to Twitter to condemn the film over Aamir Khan’s previous statements. Some social media users also targeted Kareena for her previous reaction on nepotism.
However, this is not the first time that Kareena has reacted to the trend of boycott. Earlier too he had said, “The fact is they shouldn’t boycott this film, it’s such a beautiful film. And I want people to see me and Aamir (Khan) on screen. We’ve waited so long So, please don’t boycott this film, because it’s like boycotting really good cinema.”
It is also to be noted that Kareena Kapoor Khan’s comment has come at a time Shahrukh Khan And Deepika Padukone’s Pathan is also facing backlash on social media. The song Besharam Rang from the film was embroiled in several controversies, with some people finding the song objectionable over the use of saffron costumes. The film is all set to release on Wednesday, January 25.
Meanwhile, on the work front, kareena kapoor khan Will soon be seen in Hansal Mehta’s next film. The untitled film is also his first production venture.
