Naseeruddin Shah's rant in his latest opinion column in the Indian Express shows his reflex to interpret every personal slight through the lens of ideological victimhood.
Another reason behind ‘artists’ whitewashing Islamic terrorism is Wokeism—the cultural Marxism— which reduces the world into conflicts between oppressors and oppressed; here Muslim strategists and Islam apologists have been hugely successful in painting themselves as victims in almost every scenario.
After actor Naseeruddin Shah bemoaned the overwhelming response to Hindu-centric films such as 'The Kashmir Files' and 'The Kerala Story,' Bollywood actor Aamir Khan's ex-wife Kiran Rao went on a similar rant
Naseeruddin Shah also blamed the audience for not supporting the films made by like-minded directors such as Sudhir Mishra, Anubhav Sinha, and Hansal Mehta.
Naseeruddin Shah showered praises for the Mughal king and said that he was soft-hearted, vulnerable man and he was also very passionate, sexually driven, ferocious, merciless warrior. "He must have been a great lover. I played him, to find the human being within this grandeur,” he said.
We all live with the choices we make and hence so should the artists, with displaced sense of entitlement and importance that they are 'prominent citizens' singlehandedly responsible to uphold the value of democracy by playing their religion card while offending other religions.
