Samajwadi Party MP and veteran actor Jaya Bachchan, the wife of Megastar Amitabh Bachchan aka Big B hit out at BJP MP Ravi Kishan over his “drug addiction is in the film industry too” statement.
Actress and politican Jaya Bachchan said, “Only because of few people, you cannot tarnish the whole entertainment industry. I was ashamed that one of our members in Lok Sabha, who is working in film industry too, spoke against this industry.”
Ravi Kishan is one of the popular Bhojpuri actor, who has acted in Hindi and Telugu movies. Ravi Kishan is popular for his villainous act in Telugu movies. Ravi Kishan raised in parliament the drugs related allegations that have emerged against the film industry in Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput death case investigations.
The politician Jaya Bachchan added that the film industry in India provides direct employment to 5 lakh people daily and indirect employment to nearly 5 million people. There are few people in the entertainment industry who are some of the highest taxpayers in India but they are still being harassed. I think the government must stand by the film industry because it always comes forward to help the government in whatever good work it takes up. If there is a national calamity, the people from the film industry come forward, they give money and their services.
