Every teenager in India, at least once in his/her lifetime, dreams of coming to Mumbai and be part of the Bollywood industry. Some leave their homes and parents to make their dreams come true. They come here, struggle hard, only to see them shattered. Some are lucky to quickly realize how messy the industry is and get out of it. Some go through with it, doing menial jobs but going to every audition, meeting as many casting directors (some real, some fake) as possible and sometimes doing stuff that are uncomfortable and downright immoral, just in the hope of one chance that would make him/her a superstar.
But Bollywood does not care about these people. It would cast Pakistani actors rather than one of these people. In a country of 1.2 billion people, we still need Pakistani actors seems unreal. And it's not as if they are better at acting or singing or in any other vocation.
Recently there has been an increase in the number of Pakistan sponsored terror attacks in India. In the span of 5 months, there have been 2 major attacks on our army; Pathankot and Uri along with cross-border firing which is happening on a routine basis. Couple of days back, India retaliated with a Surgical Strike across the border in PoK on terrorist camps and destroyed them. India has maintained that the attack was not on Pakistan but on terrorists. However, guilty as they are of harboring those terrorists, Pakistan has termed this as as aggression from India. This came after a round of denial that any such strike has happened.
In all this, there has been no comments from these Pakistani actors, who have been earning a lot of money here, condemning these attacks. Whereas when there was a terrorist attack in Pakistan, whole Bollywood was condemning them. Now, MNS has threatened these actors to go to Pakistan and the Indian Motion Picture Producers’ Association has banned Pakistani actors, singers and technicians from working on Indian films.This was something that was asked by people in SM for quite a long time. Why entertain artists from the country which has always created problems for India?
But Bollywood has come out in support of these Pakistani actors and actresses with the age-old statements "Artists are not terrorists", "Art has no borders". It's as if having these artists here would solve the problem and bring peace. And to top it off, the same Pakistani actors after going to Pakistan started bad mouthing India and came out in support of Pakistan. Of course they would have to as the people there are not as tolerant as India.
There was a time when Bollywood was run with underworld money. It still is, but not as openly as it used to. Most of these gangsters are holed up in Pakistan (famous one being Dawood). They still call the shots in Bollywood and many people from film industry including film stars, directors, procucers, etc. have connection to them. With this knowledge, it is quite clear on why these people don't condemn Pakistan for exporting terror. Also, the same reason for them not wanting to ban Pakistani actors.
As a responsible citizen of this country, we must understand that these people survive because of us. We must ensure that they are taught a lesson and the best way to do it is to stop watching films of these traitors. We already have seen the power of common people when SRK's film 'Fan' turned out to be a major flop. Similarly, we should boycott all of the movies these traitors star in.
Our Army is fighting at the border thwarting external enemies. We must fight within to thwart internal enemies.
