In response to a Canadian director who dubbed The Kashmir Files rubbish, Vivek Agnihotri

Filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri has addressed Dylan Mohan Gray’s criticism of his movie, The Kashmir Files, days after he garnered attention for his response to Anurag Kashyap’s statement that it shouldn’t be submitted to the Oscars. Recently, the Canadian director tweeted that The Kashmir Files was “hatemongering crap” and would humiliate India if it were nominated for an Oscar. In response, Vivek has said that “someone sitting in Canada” may have seen his movie in the first place. He may not be a talented filmmaker, but Vivek said he is aware of politics.

Dylan recently referred to The Kashmir Files as “hatemongering junk of no artistic quality” and said that Anurag Kashyap was correct to hope that the movie is not chosen as India’s official entry to the 2019 Oscars in order to protect what little goodwill there is left for India. On August 17, Dylan posted in response to Vivek Agnihotri’s tweet regarding Anurag’s statement “Actually, if “chosen” by the “neutral” board, it’s (hateful, revisionist) garbage with no creative merit and will shame India even more. Anurag Kashyap is merely attempting to protect what little goodwill the nation still has.” In 2020, Dylan will broadcast the Netflix documentary series Bad Boy Billionaires India.

In a recent interview with ETimes, Vivek responded to a question concerning Dylan’s remark by saying, “This is all lobbying and politics. I know more about politics than most directors. Credit to you, mujhe (Please give me that much credit). Even if I’m not a brilliant filmmaker, I have a grasp of politics. Tell me, how did someone watching my movie from Canada notice it. That implies that someone is lobbying.

Vivek stated in his original tweet, to which Dylan replied, that a campaign against his movie had been initiated by “Bollywood’s genocide-denier lobby.” He tweeted, “Important: The vile, genocide-denier lobby of Bollywood has started its campaign against The Kashmir Files for Oscars, under the supervision of the creator of The Godfather: Part II.

The Kashmir Files, which was directed by Vivek Agnihotri, starred Anupam Kher, Pallavi Joshi, Mithun Chakraborty, and Darshan Kumar in the lead positions. The movie had a mixed reception upon release but went on to become one of the highest grossing Hindi movies of the year. Since the Covid-19 pandemic, it is the only Hindi movie to surpass the 300-crore mark.

Food blogger attacked by Swara Bhasker for boasting about being a vegetarian on Twitter: “Smug self-righteousness”

In response to food blogger Nalini Unagar’s “proud to be a vegetarian” tweet, actor Swara Bhasker attacked Unagar. On Sunday, Nalini posted a photo of her lunch at X. It included a paneer dish and fried rice.

What was said by the food blogger?
Nalini shared the picture and added, “I’m happy to be a vegetarian. There are no more tears, cruelty, or guilt on my platter.”

This is Swara’s response.
In response, Swara penned, “To be honest… I find vegetarians’ arrogant self-righteousness to be incomprehensible. Denying the calf its mother’s milk, forcing cows to become pregnant, ripping them from their calves, and taking their milk are the main components of your diet.”

Furthermore, she said, “You eat root vegetables? That eliminates the entire plant! Just because it’s Bakr Eid, don’t stress about virtue signalling (folded hands emojis). June 16–17 is when Bakr Eid, or Eid al-Adha, is observed.

Swara just had her Eid celebration.
A few months after celebrating Eid al-Fitr, Swara posted a tweet. She celebrated the occasion with her daughter Raabiyaa and spouse Fahad Ahmad. On her Instagram Stories, Swara posted snippets of her Eid festivities. Swara and Raabiyaa were shown in one of the stories pointing at the Eid ka Chaand. Another photo shows Swara, her daughter, and Fahad posing as a family. Fahad is Muslim, but Swara is Hindu.

When Swara discussed the cultures of her and Fahad
Swara performed a chhathi puja for Raabiyaa the previous year. She revealed tidbits from the festivities and reported discovering shared cultural experiences with Fahad’s family. “The child is a mish mash of the mish mash we are,” Swara had wrote. She therefore has 62.5% UP, 12.5% Bihar, and 25% Andhra. Furthermore, I support representation and am always up for a celebration! Furthermore, since our wedding, we’ve learned that Muslims and Hindus in North India have common cultural customs, which strengthens my conviction that, despite our variety, love and joy will always find a language.”

“Chhathhi, or the sixth day of a child’s birth, is celebrated throughout UP Bihar. Mom and kid dress in the colour of turmeric or haldi, and aunts or bua put kaajal on the child and parents to protect them from ‘nazar,’ or the evil eye! I’m performing a well-known “sohar”—celebration songs for new babies. Although sohars are often used to celebrate newborn boys, I customised it for a newborn girl—oh! And although sisters and aunts sing the sohars, mothers don’t, so I thought, “Why not?” Dholak aa gaya hai! Thank you to @manisha2967 for the Chhathhi lesson and the beautiful singing I was able to do, and to Bhanu ji @partapsinghb11 for the dholak that helped make my singing pleasant.
