Over
the
last
few
months,
the
film
industry
is
constantly
being
targeted
and
shamed
by
netizens,
as
well
as
some
media
channels.
It
all
started
when
actresses
like
Deepika
Padukone,
Sara
Ali
Khan,
Shraddha
Kapoor
and
Rakul
Preet
Singh
were
summoned
by
the
Narcotics
Control
Bureau
(NCB)
in
Bollywood-drug
nexus
case
related
to
actor
Sushant
Singh
Rajput's
death.
Amid
all
the
investigation,
many
media
channels
failed
to
maintain
the
code
of
conduct
while
practicing
journalism,
and
left
the
entire
film
industry
extremely
upset.
Recently,
thirty
four
production
houses
and
four
industry
associations
filed
a
civil
suit
before
the
Delhi
High
Court
against
some
news
channels
for
using
derogatory
terms
such
as
'dirt',
'filth',
'scum',
'druggies',
etc.,
for
the
film
industry.
Actress
Raveena
Tandon,
who
has
been
a
part
of
the
film
industry
since
a
long
time,
is
proud
of
the
film
industry
for
taking
this
step.
While
speaking
to
a
leading
daily,
Raveena
said,
"The
fact
that
it's
the
first
time
in
history
that
the
entire
industry
is
standing
united,
everyone
is
planning
to
join
the
movement.
The
narrative
and
the
kind
of
language
being
used
was
very
undignified
and
it
was
only
the
film
industry
that
was
being
targeted."
"There
is
freedom
of
speech
yes,
but
to
make
statements
which
are
completely
untrue,
and
forget
dignity,
voh
toh
raha
hi
nahi,
without
any
proof,
the
vilification
of
people
and
the
kind
of
language
being
used,
it's
a
new
low.
What
we
are
seeing
on
social
media,
it's
a
real
tragedy," added
the
Mohra
actress.
The
45-year-old
actress
also
reacted
to
the
alleged
drug
culture
in
Bollywood,
and
said
if
media
channels
are
really
serious
about
war
against
drugs,
they
should
start
from
the
roots,
rather
than
targeting
only
the
film
industry.
"Their
journalists
can
easily
reach
the
peddler,
and
then
drug
supplier,
how
come
our
cops
don't
know
where
they
are?
How
come
it
has
been
given
such
a
blind
eye?
There
are
peddlers
standing
outside
colleges,
restaurants,
hotels,
pubs.
You
think
there
is
no
substance
use
in
politics,
parties,
among
industrialists,
among
politicians,
among
anybody?
It
is
so
clear
all
what
is
happening,"
said
Raveena.
