Hrithik who has been ultra-busy promoting his forthcoming film Krissh and shooting action sequences for it, is enormously upset by
the backlash that Aamir has received for his support for the 'Narmada ' andolan.
Says Hrithik, "I'm ashamed to live in a country where one political party can use the power given to them by the people to try and
punish an individual for his opinion and rob him of his democratic rights.
And only because he believes in a righteous cause
that goes against the interests of the political party concerned.
The concerned party has shown the highest level of
immaturity by trying to using power to stop the screening of Fanaa in an attempt to scare off Aamir and thereby threatening the entire
film fraternity against taking a stance of any social or political issue in the future."
Hrithik laughs mirthlessly. "You know what's really ridiculous? They haven't understood what Aamir is trying to say. He's not against
the dam, only for the rehabilitation of the people who'd thereby be homeless. It's preposterous.
I mean what kind of IQs do
these gentleman have? They're behaving like bullies from school. I think these naysayers need to grow up. I'm with Aamir all the way."
More power to the Hrithiks of the entertainment industry who have the guts to stand by their harassed colleagues.
