Farah Khan Slams Bollywood Stars For Flaunting Their Privilege During Times Of Crisis
During an interview, Farah Khan backed her statement about, calling out Bollywood stars on their workout videos and said they seemed "a little shallow".
Filmmaker
and
choreographer
Farah
Khan,
earlier
had
slammed
actors
who
were
posting
workout
videos,
during
the
novel
Coronavirus
outbreak.
In
a
recent
interview
with
senior
film
journalist
Rajeev
Masand,
Farah
backed
her
statement
and
said
the
videos
seemed
"a
little
shallow".
Farah
during
the
interaction,
yet
again,
talked
about
Bollywood's
reaction
to
the
pandemic
on
social
media.
She
claimed
the
industry
does
not
have
a
good
reputation
and
the
videos
were
not
helping.
She
added,
"I
want
to
apologise
to
everybody
who
got
scared.
I
know
I
took
off.
Please
workout.
I
walk
one
hour
around
the
balcony
every
day.
I
was
disturbed
with
the
frivolity
of
the
situation.
It's
not
a
global
party
guys,
it's
a
global
pandemic."
She
wanted
to
remind
everyone
there
are
better
things
to
do,
like
deep
thinking,
charity,
helping
out
neighbours,
"There
are
other
things
you
can
do
right
now,
there
was
a
glut
of
everyone
wanting
to
be
seen,
and
wanting
to
be
on
Insta.
It
seemed
a
little
shallow.
We
already
don't
have
a
great
reputation
for
being
an
industry
that
is
deep
thinking,
even
though
a
lot
of
people
do
so
much
good
and
contribution.
It
just
seemed
like
everything
was
about
'look
at
me,
look
at
me,'."
Farah
even
talked
about
her
previous
"rant" and
said
it
wasn't
aimed
at
anyone
specific.
"But
it
was
just
like,
'Guys,
this
can't
be
the
only
problem;
figure
out
a
way
how
to
help
your
neighbours
or
send
food
to
people.'
You
can't
just
be,
'Oh
my
god,
my
gym
is
shut.'
My
daughters
are
12
years
old,
they
are
figuring
out
how
to
feed
stray
dogs.
My
son
is
stressed
and
wants
to
write
songs
about
something
that
can
help.
So,
you
can't
flaunt
your
privilege
at
this
time.
I
know
you
can
but
you
should
not,"
she
added.
Many
Bollywood
celebrities
have
been
sharing
their
new
home
workout
regimes
on
social
media,
including
Katrina
Kaif,
Arjun
Kapoor,
Jacqueline
Fernandez,
Sara
Ali
Khan,
Malaika
Arora,
Rakul
Preet
Singh
and
Shilpa
Shetty
Kundra
and
more,
in
an
effort
to
improve
the
morale
of
fans
who
are
staying
home
in
favour
of
social
distancing.
