Filmmaker
Anurag
Kashyap
expressed
that
he
has
a
problem
with
Ravi
Kishan's
apparent
self
righteous
stand
against
the
film
industry
because
he
himself
used
to
smoke
marijuana
for
the
longest
time.
Speaking
to
journalist
Faye
D'Souza,
Anurag
said,
"Ravi
Kishan
acted
in
my
last
film
Mukkabaaz.
Ravi
Kishan
starts
his
day
by
saying
Jai
Shiv
Shankar,
Jai
Bam
Bhole.
Jai
shiv
Shambhu
For
the
longest
period
of
his
time,
he
has
been
somebody
who
has
used
weed.
It
is
life.
Everybody
knows
it.
The
whole
world
knows.
There's
not
a
single
person
who
doesn't
know
that
Ravi
Kishan
does
not
smoke
up.
He
might
have
quit
now,
that
he
has
become
a
minister,
he
might
have
cleaned
up."
He
continued,
"But
do
you
include
that
in
drugs?
No.
I
am
not
judging
Ravi,
because
I
have
never
seen
weed
as
a
drug.
'Abuse'
is
not
the
word.
He
used
to
smoke
up.
He
has
always
been
functional,
he
has
always
done
his
job
well,
it
did
not
make
him
dysfunctional,
did
not
make
him
a
monster.
It
did
not
do
anything
that
people
associate
with
drugs.
So
when
he
talks
about
it,
when
he
takes
a
self
righteous
stand,
I
have
a
problem
with
that."
Kishan
was
also
criticized
by
fellow
MP
and
actor
Jaya
Bachchan,
who
said
that
some
people
were
tarnishing
the
image
of
the
entire
industry
and
that
they
were
biting
the
very
hands
that
feed
them.
Kishan
responded
to
this
by
saying
that
he
expected
Jaya
Bachchan's
support
to
his
statement.
While
admitting
that
not
everyone
in
the
industry
consumes
drugs,
those
who
do
are
on
a
path
of
'finishing' the
world's
largest
film
industry.
According
to
ANI,
Ravi
Kishan
responded
to
Anurag's
claim:
"I
didn't
expect
such
words
from
Anurag
Kashyap.
It's
no
secret
I
am
a
devotee
of
Shiva
so
I
chant
his
name.
I'm
saddened
he
would
not
support
me
on
this
issue
of
the
war
on
drugs
&
say
that
I
smoked
up
&
am
now
clean
just
because
I'm
a
minister,
which
I'm
not:
Ravi
Kishan."
