From ‘Campaign Against Priyanka Chopra’ to ‘Sushant Was Harangued,’ Apurva Asrani Makes SHOCKING Claims
Apurva Asrani’s comments come just days after Priyanka Chopra said she was tired of ‘politics’ in the Hindi film business.
Days after Priyanka Chopra Jonas revealed how she was sidelined in Bollywood, film editor and screenwriter Apurva Asrani has also made some startling disclosures. In a recent interview, Ansari stated that Bollywood has its own favourites and that when they don’t like an actor, they “gang up” to get him or her fired.
“These egos call other egos and tell them not to work with this person. They then use the media and powerful journalists to run campaigns to discredit this person. Blind articles are written by corrupt scribes who make damaging accusations. False stories are planted about inappropriate behaviour on set,” the film editor-screenwriter told Hindustan Times.
He went on to say that anyone who is ‘outspoken, refuses to be disrespected, and refuses to demean themselves by agreeing to their regressive views’ is pushed into a corner in the business.
During the interaction, Apurva Asrani also claimed a campaign was run against Priyanka Chopra after her two back-to-back hit movies, Barfi and Agneepath. “The front page of a city newspaper carried a headline saying that no hero wanted to work with her. They weren’t giving her due, she wasn’t able to grow as an actor and a star,” he said.
