Rajeev Khandelwal : ‘Who are these politicians to dictate us’
Actor Rajeev Khandelwal has expressed strong disapproval regarding the ban on Pakistani artists in India, criticizing politicians for interfering in the cultural domain.
Speaking at a recent event, Khandelwal questioned the authority of politicians to dictate the inclusion of artists based on nationality, emphasizing that art and culture should transcend political boundaries.
Khandelwal highlighted that cultural exchanges foster understanding and peace between nations, and such bans only serve to hinder this process. He asserted that the decisions regarding who should be part of the entertainment industry should be left to the creative community and not be influenced by political agendas.
His remarks come in the wake of ongoing debates and legal challenges about the engagement of Pakistani artists in Indian cinema.
