In an interview, Anupam Kher shared how actors today cannot be vocal about their political ideologies as people could get offended.
Anupam Kher recently spoke about why actors nowadays are not vocal about their political ideologies, as compared to their counterparts in the past. Citing examples of Dev Anand and Vijay Anand, he pointed out that in present times, people get upset when celebs openly talk about their ideologies.
Speaking on ANI’s podcast, the actor shared that anyone who participates in the voting process is making a political statement. He added, “I think actors have a fan base, people base. In today’s time, it can be easily misconstrued. It can easily get into issues. Warna pehle bhi they. There is a certain section of people, Dev Anand sahab, Vijay Anand sahab, they supported a particular ideology. They were vocal and saath me kaam hota rehta tha (work existed side by side).”
“Ab nahi hota (this isn’t the case anymore) because everybody is vocal about it on social media. Everybody has groups. So, you can upset people if you are vocal about it,” Anupam said. In the same interview, he also revealed that he doesn’t want to join a political party.
