Shabana
Azmi
On
Kangana
Ranaut's
Attacks
On
Bollywood
Reacting
to
Kangana
saying
that
the
film
industry
must
be
‘saved
from
various
terrorists',
including
the
‘drug
mafia'
and
those
who
exploit
talent,
Shabana
said
that
the
Manikarnika
actress
should
stick
to
acting
instead
of
making
such
sensational
statements.
Shabana
Azmi
Says
Kangana
Fears
The
Day
She
Will
No
Longer
Be
In
The
Headlines
Shabana
Azmi
told
Mumbai
Mirror
that
she
is
glad
that
Kangana
taught
feminism
and
nationalism
to
film
industry.
However,
the
veteran
actress
further
added
that
the
Queen
actress
has
been
making
outrageous
statements
to
stay
in
the
news.
"Kangana
has
started
believing
in
her
own
myth.
She
says
she
taught
feminism
to
the
film
industry,
she
taught
it
nationalism.
I'm
glad
she
spelled
that
out
because
nobody
else
had
noticed!
I
think
she
fears
the
day
when
she
will
no
longer
be
in
the
headlines
and
so
has
to
keep
making
outrageous
statements
to
stay
in
the
news.
Poor
girl,
why
doesn't
she
just
do
what
she
is
best
at,
which
is
acting."
Shabana
Azmi
Says
There
Are
Issues
In
The
Film
Industry
But
It's
Unfair
To
Paint
The
Whole
Industry
With
One
Brush
The
veteran
actress
was
quoted
as
saying,
"There
are
many
socially
committed
outspoken
people
too,
does
the
entire
industry
get
bathed
in
a
halo
because
of
them?"
Shabana
Azmi
Reacts
To
Various
Allegations
Levelled
Against
Bollywood
Post
Sushant's
Death
Shabana
said
that
the
industry
is
a
‘sitting
duck' and
levelling
malicious
allegations
against
it
is
a
part
of
a
‘systematic
campaign
to
divert
attention
from
real
issues'.
She
told
the
tabloid,
"My
primary
identity
is
that
of
being
a
Hindi
film
industry
and
I
am
very
proud
of
it.
Unfortunately,
the
Hindi
film
industry
is
a
sitting
duck;
it
is
easy
to
hurl
malevolent
accusations.
It
is
a
systematic
campaign
to
divert
attention
rom
real
issues,
failing
economy,
China
border
tensions,
spiraling
COVID-19
cases,
and
farmers'
agitation
by
putting
the
spotlight
on
the
supposed
ills
of
the
film
industry."
'Justice
For
Sushant
Has
Given
Way
To
Weed
Out
The
Druggies,'
Says
Shabana
Azmi
"So
‘Justice
for
Sushant'
has
given
way
to
‘Weed
out
the
Druggies'
the
goal
post
keeps
changing.
Instead
of
focusing
on
mental
health
as
a
serious
issue
in
our
society,
it's
sensationalism
at
play," the
actress
told
the
tabloid.
