NEW DELHI: Nasseruddeen Shah, the actor who has entertained movie lovers over the years with acting, has lashed out against the celebrities for keeping mum on the ongoing farmers' protest. In an interview, the actor said that these film personalities believe that they may lose something if they speak up have but have earned enough to provide for seven generations. This interview came out a few weeks back and its relevance has now increased in the light of the latest developments on social media and otherwise.

Speaking with Jameel Gulrays, during an interview, Naseeruddin Shah mentioned how everyone must talk about the farmer’s protesting in India. He said, “In the end, you will not hear the words of your enemies but the silence of your friends. To say that it is not a matter of personal concern would not be right at all. If our farmers are sitting on protest in the bitter cold we cannot turn a blind eye to them. I am sure that the farmer protest will gain momentum and everyone will join in. This will definitely happen. Being silent is tantamount to supporting an oppressor. I believe this.”

The actor then went on to talk about the biggies of the film industry. Talking about the same, he said, “The towering personalities of our film industry are extremely silent over all this. They believe that they may lose something if they speak up. When you have earned enough to provide for seven generations, How much will you lose?” Naseeruddin Shah also spoke about the problems migrants faced during the lockdown. He talked about how the police inflicted acts of cruelty on the migrants and how it was shocking and regretful. Watch the video below:
