Actor
Angad
Bedi
calls
out
naysayers,
who
are
hell-bent
on
boycotting
his
upcoming
film,
Gunjan
Saxena:
The
Kargil
Girl
because
it
stars
a
star
kid
(Janhvi
Kapoor)
in
the
lead
role.
In
conversation
with
a
media
agency,
Angad
Bedi
spoke
about
the
current
boycott
culture,
and
said
it's
unfair
to
the
entire
cast
and
crew
of
the
film,
because
if
netizens
are
boycotting
a
film,
they're
robbing
off
their
livelihood.
"We
all
are
trying
to
put
bread
on
the
table
for
our
family.
Yes,
this
is
a
celebrated
profession,
but
it
is
like
just
any
other
profession
also.
If
you
talk
about
boycotting,
you're
talking
about
robbing
off
our
livelihood.
I
don't
think
that's
fair.
We
get
paid
to
act," Bedi
told
PTI.
Angad
also
doesn't
understand
why
a
film
like
Gunjan
Saxena,
which
sets
a
great
example
for
the
youth
of
our
nation
is
being
boycotted
by
the
netizens.
"If
a
film
like
this
is
going
to
be
in
a
position
where
it
can
be
a
great
example
to
the
youth,
why
would
you
boycott
that?"
asked
Bedi.
For
the
unversed,
all
the
backlash
towards
the
star
kids
began
when
actor
Sushant
Singh
Rajput
died
suddenly
on
June
14.
While
some
called
it
suicide,
others
asserted
that
it's
a
murder.
Amid
all
the
conspiracy
theories,
netizens
vented
out
their
anger
on
the
star
kids,
who
are
privileged
in
the
industry,
while
outsiders
like
Sushant
and
other
actors
have
to
struggle
every
single
day
to
earn
bread
and
butter
for
themselves.
Angad
also
spoke
about
Sushant's
death
and
said,
"We
have
lost
such
a
gem
of
an
actor.
To
have
this
backlash
is
wrong
because
tomorrow
when
we
put
ourselves
in
the
same
position,
this
is
not
how
we
are
going
to
respond
or
react.
It's
important
to
be
sensitive
to
each
other."
Coming
back
to
Gunjan
Saxena:
The
Kargil
Girl,
the
film
is
directed
by
Sharan
Sharma
and
it
also
stars
Pankaj
Tripathi,
Manav
Vij
and
Vineet
Kumar
Singh
in
key
roles.
The
film
is
all
set
to
stream
on
Netflix
from
August
12.
