Akshay Kumar praised The Kashmir Files out of majboori, according to Vivek Agnihotri

Vivek Agnihotri, a filmmaker, recently took a shot at Akshay Kumar, claiming that the actor enjoyed his film The Kashmir Files because he was’majboori (helpless)’. Vivek was told in a new interview that several Bollywood stars, including Akshay Kumar, praised the film. Many people asked Vivek about The Kashmir Files, so he felt compelled to praise it. Both Vivek and Akshay Kumar attended a function in Bhopal, where Akshay expressed his admiration for The Kashmir Files while also admitting that it contributed to the failure of his film Bachchhan Paandey.

Vivek had previously shared a video of Akshay saying, “Hum sabko desh ki kahaniyan kehni hai, Kuch jaani maani, kuch ankahi, ansuni,” on Twitter. Kashmir Files bana kar ek bahut bade dardnaak sach ko saamne rakha hai, jaise Vivek ji ne. Ek aisi wave ban kar aayi jisne hum sabko jhinjhor kar diya hai. Wo aur baat haiki, meri photograph ko duba diya hai. (We all want to tell stories about our country.) Some are well-known, while others are not. For example, Vivek produced The Kashmir Files, which exposed a painful truth and left us all shaken. That it contributed to the failure of my film is a different matter).” “Thanks,” Vivek had written after sharing the video.

It was mentioned in a recent conversation with VJ Raunac that Akshay liked the movie. Vivek replied, “Woh toh majboori mein ab kya bolega aadmi jab 100 log saamne khade hoke sawaal puchenge Kashmir Files. ‘Apki film nahi chali aur woh chal gayi,’ kya bolsakte hai? When 100 people came to him asking about The Kashmir Files, he had to say, “Woh toh main ek function mein tha Bhopal mein usme bolna padh gaya.” What can he say when asked why his film didn’t do well while that one did? I was also in Bhopal for a function where I had to praise the film).”

When asked if he received any thank-you messages, Vivek replied, “Public nahi bolta peeche koi… Mujhe message nahi kiya ek aadmi… Unse Kashmir Files ke baare mein puch lete hai sablog apni film promote karne jaate hai. Unhe majboori mein bolna padhta hai. Apne mann se kisine kuch nahi bola (No one personally appreciates… No one sent me a message. The media would inquire about The Kashmir Files as everyone was promoting their films. They felt compelled to say something. But no one spoke out of their own volition).”

At seven o’clock, Raj Babbar’s daughter learnt of his liaison with Smita Patil. “I shouldn’t tell my mother about this.”

Raj Babbar left his wife, Nadira, to marry Smita Patil in 1983. His daughter Juhi Babbar has recalled the time in a new interview.
Actor Raj Babbar was already married and had two children when he began his relationship with fellow actor, Smita Patil. The affair and the ensuing marriage saw a lot of controversy, given how it began. Raj Babbar’s daughter, former actor Juhi Babbar, has now opened up on the time and how she came to know about the relationship when she was just 7 years old.

Juhi Babbar on Raj Babbar and Smita Patil

In an interview with Lehren Retro, Juhi recalled how Smita Patil made a conscious effort to connect with Raj’s two children – Juhi and her brother, Arya. “My father talked and explained his marriage with Smita Patil to me when I was barely seven years old, and that’s why my memories of Smita ji are very different. She went out of her way to do things for me. I think she also had this thing that we are the kids of the person who is most special to her, and so we are special to her as well. She would show us a lot of love, always bringing us gifts when she travelled, and she would ensure that at home, we were served the food that we liked. These small memories are nice, but unfortunately, there aren’t many memories,” she said.

Juhi said she was conflicted about her impression of Smita at the time because the actor was always nice to us, but she could see that the marriage had shaken up her own family, particularly her mother, Nadira. “As a child, I knew this is the lady my father wants to be with, and he wants to make her his wife. I could see Smita making an effort towards me and my little brother, but I also knew that this was disturbing the unit that used to be, and that my mother was unhappy about it. I had that understanding—that aunty (Smita) was being so good to me, but when I go home, I shouldn’t share this with my mother.”
