Vidya Balan on National Anthem in theatres: You are not in school wher

Vidya Balan has always been vocal about her
opinions and has never shied away in
putting her views out in open. At an event,
she talked about the ongoing debate over
playing the national anthem in public
places.
Vidya said, "I don't think the National
Anthem should be played before the films.
You are not in school where you start the
day with the National Anthem. So I'm
personally of the opinion that the National
Anthem should not be played. You cannot
force patriotism. But I don't need to be told.
When I hear the National Anthem, I stand up
wherever I am."
Vidya, who is gearing up for Tumhari Sullu,
was also in headlines after she was
appointed as the member of the Central
Board of Film Certification (CBFC).
On these lines, she said, "The entire film
industry was feeling a certain way with the
previous censor board. And then, when I
was asked whether I'd be able to be on the
censor board, I thought this as an
opportunity to bring about change."
"So, unless I agree to be part of that change
or at least attempt to be part of it, I can't
criticise it anymore. Which is why I said ok'.
I don't want to give it a particular tag and
say Sanskari, Un-sanskari, forward," she
added.
"Once the CBFC has cleared the film, it should
be allowed to be seen the way it has been
cleared. If there are any issues, they should
have been brought up before," she said and
signed off.

Never understood the logic of playing national anthem in cinemas. Can anyone explain logic behind it.
It will be more appropriate to show a 30sec or 1 min clip of hardsips soldiers face at border so that civilians can go to cinemas and enjoy.

That's some fake patriotism... Cz once outside cinema people do nothing about it...

I feel really weird to stand up for National anthem in a cinema hall.

Another opportunity to #TakeAKnee!

My mom has knee pains, and whenever we'd go watch movies, we had to stand up and she used to feel so much pain to stand up immediately or soon after sitting..
