Those were the days when people stood up for what they believed in filmakers made films in what they believed n singers sang beauriful n meanigful songs now everything is done to get attention from relationships to holidays snything an everything is on sale in the name of social media

Ps jack sparrow i totaly loved your post

Indira Gandhi lost the election so she declared emergency which gave her absolute power to imprison anybody and she did...

Political enemies, opponents and journalists...

Some courageous people opposed that, risking imprisonment

Other than that don’t think BW was that courageous whether it was tackling sensitive issues or opposing Gov. policies or atrocities

I might be wrong but there wasn’t the threat of being sued by anybody for anything in those days, Indian law didn’t allow that I think

Huh? Am I missing something? What did Aamir do to risk his career?

What about when Ajay Devgn fought for his rights 😆

Hey, didn’t Aamir say that his wife said that she wants to leave the country cz of how the new Gov. scared her

You think that didn’t take courage, huh?

She is the most spineless person in bollywood.

She first tweets nonsense and abuses from Rangoli's twitter and then creates team Kangana.

She then abuses everyone on the planet as she has the support of ruling government.

She turns a tragic incident suicide into a self promotion event.

She refuses to corporate with police when questioned in Hrithik saga and SSR investigation.

She always plans to instigate communal violence in this country.

This vile creature has no value before the above people.
