Over
30
Bollywood,
TV
and
music
personalities
were
caught
on
tape
by
Cobrapost
reporters
agreeing
to
promote
the
agenda
of
political
parties
in
exchange
for
money.
Vidya,
Arshad
Warsi,
Raza
Murad
and
Saumya
Tandon
were
the
only
ones
who
refused
to
do
it.
When
asked
about
it,
Vidya
told
reporters,
"I
can't
pass
a
judgement
on
anyone
else
but
all
I
will
say
is
I'm
uncomfortable
doing
it,
which
is
why
I
didn't
do
it.
To
each
his
own."
"May
be
they
didn't
even
realise
because
today
on
social
media,
people
are
commenting
on
anything.
May
be
they
thought
this
was
not
big.
We
should
not
become
judge,
jury
and
executioners
at
the
drop
of
hat.
I
could
not
do
it
so
I
didn't."
She
was
speaking
at
the
launch
of
her
Radio
show
Dhun
Badalke
Toh
Dekho
on
92.7
Big
FM.
At
the
event,
the
actor
was
also
asked
about
her
opinion
on
banning
Pakistani
artistes
after
the
Pulwama
attacks
in
the
valley.
Vidya
said
though
she
is
a
believer
that
art
unites,
but
the
attack
was
too
much.
"I
did
believe
that
there's
no
better
way
to
bring
people
together
than
arts.
Whether
it
is
music,
dance,
theatre,
music.
May
be
for
now
we
should
take
a
break.
Some
tough
calls
have
to
be
taken
at
some
point.
We
as
Indians
are
very
large-hearted,
accepting,
forgiving.
But
after
a
point..."
