(Daily Point) — Stars from the Indian entertainment industry Bollywood recently gathered at the inauguration ceremony of the Ram temple in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh.
Prominent figures such as Amitabh Bachchan, Chiranjeevi, Alia Bhatt, Ranbir Kapoor, Vicky Kaushal, Katrina Kaif, Rohit Shetty, Rajkumar Hirani, Ayushmann Khurrana, Madhuri Dixit Nene, and producer Mahaveer Jain participated in the highly-anticipated event.
Hema Malini, Rajinikanth, Pawan Kalyan, Shankar Mahadevan, Madhur Bhandarkar, Subhash Ghai, Shefali Shah, Vipul Shah, Randeep Hooda, Lin Laishram, Aadinath Mangeshkar, Anu Malik, and Sonu Nigam were also in attendance. Although Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff couldn’t be physically present, they conveyed their wishes through video messages.
While India celebrated the consecration of Ram Mandir, Pakistani writer Fatima Bhutto expressed her dissatisfaction on platform X (formerly Twitter) over the celebrity presence at the event. Bhutto referred to Bollywood as a “craven industry” and criticized the stars for celebrating the destruction of the Babri Masjid.
She commented, “Bollywood is a craven industry. To see its stars dolled up to celebrate the destruction of the Babri Masjid and clicking selfies to cheer the hateful politics of the BJP is sickening.”
On November 9, 2022, India’s Supreme Court ruled in favor of Hindus regarding the demolition of Babri Masjid, allocating the disputed land where the Mughal-era mosque stood for centuries to Hindus for the construction of a grand Ram temple.
