Ratna Pathak Shah comments on Pathaan controversy: We are living in very silly times

Pathaan's Besharam Rang featuring Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone is not able to get out of the controversy even over a week after the song's release. After news of Deepika getting trolled for wearing full clothes in FIFA World Cup 2022 and not in song, a new story has surfaced that witnessed actor Ratna Pathak Shah commenting on the matter. 

Besharam Rang has been facing a boycott after a few BJP ministers felt insulted and called out Deepika for wearing a bikini in saffron colour as it is marked as a holy colour in the Hindu community.

Apart from the Pathaan actors, the media has asked a lot of celebrities as well as politicians to comment on the same, while recently during a promotional event of Rathna Pathak's debut Gujrati film, Kutch Express, the talented actor shared her views on the matter to indianexpress.com and said, "People don’t have food on their plates but can outrage about clothes someone else is wearing."

She also mentioned that if these unnecessary issues are at the top of people's minds, then we all are living in very silly times. "But I am hoping that there are many more sensible people in India than are visible at the moment. They will come through, because what is happening, this sense of fear, sense of exclusion is not sustainable," the veteran actor added.

Kutch Express is a 2023 Viral Shah directorial, which also features Manasi Parekh, Dharmendra Gohil and Darsheel Safary in pivotal roles.
