During Indira Gandhi's long reign as PM, there was no internet, no FB, no Twitter where celebs or common folks would express their views/ shock/outrage.

Its twitter which has given current BW celebs a platform for expressing their opinions.

But in the old times, there were newspapers, magazines, etc which published articles criticizing the government.

Except during the Emergency, throughout the years there was criticism of the ruling party in news articles, in the media, by writers, journalists, social workers etc.

We common folks also used to openly discuss, criticize the government without fear of retaliation.

Film stars back then used to join politics in opposition parties but their movies were not targeted.

Anurag Kashyap had some questions for the PM. But instead of getting an answer he got hurted replies and taunts from some ministers.

@mrs khan and others as well

since you had raised the issue of double standard by celebs , here is the example of one by meryl streep herself

she was very happy in giving standing ovation to roman polanski 😆

Now coming to your point about anurag kashyap , I would like to point towards the case of anupam kher when he raised the issue of kashmiri pandits and was called sanghi and RSS goon in turn.

Further lets see the example of vivek agnihotri whose film buddha something was panned by left leaning critics like raja sen without any logic and did not meet with any support from film frarternity.

Hence I conclude that all celebs be it bolly , holly or any other national are just hypocrites and do not deserve attention when it comes to important issues.

PS- If you fell offended by me telling you directly or I seem personal then I am sorry mrskhan and I will be more than willing to remove your name :)
