Asha Parekh reacts to the Besharam Rang controversy
However, others believe that there is nothing wrong with the song. After many actors and politicians, Dadasaheb Phalke awardee Ashka Parekh has also given her opinion on the controversial song.
Aaj Tak told him, “Yeh bahut galat hai, film toh film hai. Jiska mool, maksad entertainment hai. Ab kisi actress ne, orange pehen liya, ya naam kuch aisa ho gaya toh usse ban kar rahe hai? Yeh nahi achha lagta hai (Loose translation: This is so wrong, a movie is a movie. It’s mostly about entertainment. If an actor wears orange, or has a different name, you start banning him? It doesn’t look good).”
He also added that the film industry is dying because films are not working. “Besides this, if people continue to boycott films, it hurts the industry as it prevents more films from being made,” he said.
Pathaan’s Besharam Rang it was presented on December 12, and it immediately attracted a lot of attention. Well, not for good reasons. Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Narottam Mishra was the first to speak out against the song.
In addition, protests were held in Indore calling for a boycott of the much-awaited Shah Rukh Khan film. However, amid the overwhelming backlash, of Pathaan the group got support from actress Swara Bhasker, actor-politician Prakash Raj, Suchitra Krishnamoorthi and many others.
