Many Bollywood stars oppose Citizenship Amendment Act although beneficiaries from BJP support the controversial law.
Unfortunately, Anupam Kher and Paresh Rawal shocked an d saddened their fans in Pakistan by supporting said law.
Kher and Rawal supports Modi
Actor Paresh Rawal elected to Lok Sabha as a BJP MP from Ahmedabad (East) in 2014. Hence his tweet in favour of CAA not surprising for Indians.
The wife Kirron Kher elected to Lok Sabha as a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP from Chandigarh in 2014. Therefore, veteran Anupam Kher also supports the Act.
But, Indian film stars forget that artists transcend national boundaries. They should remember that their uncalled for support to the RSS follower BJP hurt many Pakistani fans.
