Ever
since
weightlifter
Mirabai
Chanu
won
Silver
at
the
Olympic
Games
Tokyo
2020,
netizens
have
been
debating
over
her
biopic.
Many
netizens
took
to
Twitter
to
share
their
thoughts
and
said
that
if
any
filmmaker
ever
thinks
of
making
a
biopic
on
her,
then
they
should
approach
someone
who
actually
hails
from
Northeast
rather
than
casting
any
Bollywood
actress.
In
short,
they
were
taking
a
jibe
at
Omung
Kumar
for
casting
Priyanka
Chopra
in
Mary
Kom.
While
they
didn't
diss
her
performance
in
the
film,
they
were
simply
rooting
for
Northeast
actors.
Recently,
actor
Adil
Hussain
shared
his
thoughts
on
the
ongoing
debate
and
agreed
with
netizens.
Now,
Milind
Soman's
wife
Ankita
Konwar
who
hails
from
Northeast,
slammed
the
hypocrisy
of
citizens
of
India
and
stated
that
India
is
'infested'
with
racism.
Ankita
took
to
her
micro-blogging
page
and
wrote,
"If
you're
from
Northeast
India,
you
can
become
an
Indian
ONLY
when
you
win
a
medal
for
the
country.
Otherwise
we
are
known
as
"chinky"
"Chinese"
"Nepali"
or
a
new
addition
"corona".
India
is
not
just
infested
with
casteism
but
racism
too.
Speaking
from
my
experience."
As
soon
as
Ankita
shared
her
thoughts
on
Twitter
and
Instagram,
many
netizens
came
forward
to
lend
their
support
to
her
and
agreed
with
her,
saying
that
they
have
experienced
the
same.
"Well
written.
You
are
totally
right
Ankita,
in
your
viewpoints.
This
has
to
be
changed,"
wrote
a
user.
"Absolutely
Ma'am
even
I
am
an
Assamese
know
this
things
very
well,"
commented
another
user.
One
more
social
media
user
commented
on
her
post
saying,
"It's
really
sad
and
depressing,
that
despite
of
having
such
a
diverse
culture,
we
lack
basic
humanitarian
things!"
Well,
we
also
believe
that
it's
high
time
that
Indian
citizens
stop
discriminating
between
Indians
based
on
who
belongs
to
which
state.
