NEW DELHI: Indian actor/director Pooja Bhatt has questioned actor Amitabh Bachchan after he commented with “no comment” over Kathua And Unnao Rape cases.
The veteran Actor, when asked about his take on Kashmir minor rape case, replied saying;
“Even discussing this issue feels disgusting, don’t bring up this issue. It is terrible to even talk about it”
A lot of people on the social media raised questions over the senior actor’s moral responsibilities but one that stood out amongst all was Pooja Bhatt’s tweet in reference to Bachchan’s weak statement.
Referencing to the movie Pink in which Amitabh portrays the role of a lawyer who fights for three girls’ rights Pooja tweeted;
I can’t help being reminded of a film called #Pink. Can our images on screen please be reflected in reality? 🙏 https://t.co/JHnc8PLDXY

Even before Pooja could be commended for raising her voice, twitter trolls came out in full force criticizing her for speaking against the senior actor. But the Bhatt family’s protegee took it all in stride and responded back with equal chill and class.
A ‘recovering’ alcoholic & proud of it!In a country where people don’t even acknowledge they have a drinking problem,let alone discuss it I am grateful to stand away from the crowd that considers holding your frailties to light shameful. #485dayssober 😃🙏 pic.twitter.com/xDDFW0rD2j
