Pahlaj Nihalani: Make Films Keeping Our Indian Traditions Ahead! Slams Lipstick Under My Burkha
Pahlaj Nihalani Vs Lipstick Under My Burkha controversy! The CBFC chief says film-makers must keep Indian traditions ahead while making a movie.
As soon as the CBFC denied certifying the controversial film Lipstick Under My Burkha, social media trolls had a field day and poked fun at the Censor Board and its chief for clipping the creative wings of film-makers in India. However, CBFC chief Pahlaj Nihalani opened up about the issue by saying that social media trolls don't affect him and Indian film-makers must make films keeping the Indian traditions ahead.
He
said,
"Hindustan
ki
parampara
ko
aage
rakh
ke
film
banaye.
Festival
me
film
dikhao
taali
bajti
hai
par
theatre
me
public
nahi
aati.
Arey
mujhe
hata
do,farak
nahi
padta,
lekin
main
imaandari
se
apna
kaam
karta
rahunga
(Make
films
keeping
the
Indian
traditions
ahead.
People
applaud
a
movie
in
film
festivals
but
no
one
comes
to
watch
it
in
theatres.
Remove
me
from
my
position,
I
don't
care.
I
will
continue
doing
my
work
with
honesty)."
He also said that he will "not succumb to social media pressure" and slammed news channels for not doing their homework properly on the issue. "Debates are running on TV channels but they have not done their homework on CBFC guidelines."
Several Bollywood celebs have condemned the attitude of the CBFC for not certifying the film by giving absurd reasons that the film is lady-oriented and we hope that the matter will be settled as quickly as possible!
