Amid
the
controversy
surrounding
actor
Sushant
Singh
Rajput's
death
case
and
the
drug-related
investigation
in
connection
with
the
case,
Samajwadi
Party
MP
and
veteran
actor
Jaya
Bachchan
condemned
Kangana
Ranaut
and
Ravi
Kishan's
comments
about
the
film
industry.
Jaya,
who
was
given
a
Zero
Hour
notice
in
Rajya
Sabha,
raised
concerns
over
conspiracy
to
defame
the
film
industry
and
claimed
that
Bollywood
is
being
vilified.
Jaya
Bachchan
Slams
Kangana
Ranaut
For
Calling
Film
Industry
A
Gutter
Without
taking
Kangana
Ranaut's
name,
the
senior
actress
said,
"The
entertainment
industry
in
our
country
provides
direct
employment
every
day
to
five
lakh
people
and
indirect
employment
to
five
million
people.
At
a
time
when
the
financial
situation
is
in
a
depressing
state
and
employment
is
at
the
worst
level,
in
order
to
divert
the
attention
of
the
people,
we
are
being
used
to
be
flogged
by
social
media
and
the
government's
non-support.
But
people
who
have
made
their
name
in
this
film
industry
have
called
it
a
gutter.
I
completely
disagree."
Kangana
Ranaut's
Controversial
Comments
About
Bollywood
For
the
unversed,
after
a
drug
angle
surfaced
in
Sushant's
death
case,
Kangana
Ranaut
in
one
of
her
tweets,
had
called
Bollywood
a
gutter,
and
requested
PM
Narendra
Modi
to
clean
it
under
the
Swachh
Bharat
Mission.
The
Queen
actress
also
alleged
that
99%
of
the
people
in
the
film
industry
consume
drugs.
Kangana
Ranaut's
comments
drew
a
sharp
response
from
celebrities
like
Raveena
Tandon,
Hansal
Mehta
and
others.
Jaya
Bachchan
Lashes
Out
At
Ravi
Kishan
Jaya
Bachchan
also
slammed
BJP
MP
and
actor
Ravi
Kishan's
recent
comments
and
said,
"Just
because
there
are
some
people,
you
can't
tarnish
the
image
of
the
entire
industry.
I
am
ashamed
that
yesterday
one
of
our
members
in
Lok
Sabha,
who
is
from
the
film
industry,
spoke
against
it.
It
is
a
shame."
Ravi
Kishan
Had
Claimed
That
A
Conspiracy
Is
Being
Hatched
To
Destroy
The
Country's
Youth
Earlier,
on
Monday,
Ravi
Kishan
had
said,
"A
conspiracy
is
being
hatched
to
destroy
the
country's
youth
and
our
neighbouring
countries
are
adding
to
it.
The
smuggling
of
drugs
from
Pakistan
and
China
is
being
carried
out
every
year.
It
is
being
brought
via
Punjab
and
Nepal.
Drug
addiction
is
in
the
film
industry
too.
Several
people
have
been
apprehended.
The
NCB
has
been
doing
very
good
work.
I
urge
the
central
government
to
take
strict
action
against
the
culprits
soon.
Give
them
a
befitting
punishment
and
bring
an
end
to
this
conspiracy
by
neighbouring
countries."
Last
week,
the
Narcotics
Control
Bureau
(NCB)
arrested
actress
Rhea
Chakraborty,
her
brother
Showik
Chakraborty
and
others
in
connection
with
a
drugs
case
linked
to
Sushant
Singh
Rajput's
death.
