A controversy erupted on social media after film director Anurag Kashyap’s statement on Brahmin community regarding his upcoming film ‘Phule’. After this statement, Anurag Kashyap and his family also received many threats. Many people condemned Anurag’s statement and demanded action against him.
Now Anurag has apologized by sharing a long post on his official Instagram. Anurag Kashyap clearly said, “This apology is not for the entire post, but for that one line. A different context was added to that line, which spread a lot of hatred. No matter how clear my opinion is, if it affects the safety of my daughter, then that opinion does not matter to me.” “I stand by my statement, but if my family is facing problems because of me, then please forgive me. Scold me, but do not give any trouble to my family. If you want me to apologize, then I apologize. Those who preach pure values โโand religion should respect women, this is my only expectation.”
Anurag’s statement created controversy A few days ago, Anurag had written a post in the background of the film ‘Phule’. This created a controversy. Anurag wrote, “During the screening of Dhadak 2, the censor board said that Modi has abolished the caste system. On this basis, the film Santosh was also not released in India. Now the Brahmin community has objections to the film ‘Phule’, but brother, if the caste system has ended, then where did the Brahmins come from? Who are you? Why are you in trouble?”
“If there was no caste system, why would Jyotiba Phule and Savitribai Phule exist? For one thing, there are no Brahmins here, because according to Modi, there is no caste system in India. Or are they all fooling each other? You should first decide together whether there is a caste system in India or not. People are not fools. “Are you a Brahmin or were your ancestors who are no longer hereโฆwhat will you decide?” This led to resentment towards Anurag. Now that Anurag has apologised, it would not be wrong to say that the matter is over.
