Kareena Kapoor: Bollywood superstar Kareena Kapoor has reacted to the rising trend of boycott call against Bollywood movies and cancel culture. “I don’t agree with it at all,” she said.
The actor was speaking at an event in Kolkata where she said: “If that happens, how will we entertain, how will you have the joy and happiness in your life, which, I think everybody needs. Agar films nahi hogi toh entertainment kaise hoga (what about entertainment if there are no films)?”

Boycott calls against Pathaan
Her remarks come at a time when calls to boycott Shah Rukh Khan’s next release ‘Pathaan’ are trending on social media. At the centre of controversy is a song from the film ‘Besharam Rang’. Deepika Padukone is sporting an orange outfit in the song and critics say the saffron is sacred in Hinduism.
Boycott calls were also made during Aamir Khan’s Laal Singh Chaddha, which had Kareena Kapoor in an important role. This time critics were upset with Aamir Khan over his 2015 interview. In the interview Aamir was heard saying said that his then-wife Kiran Rao wanted to move out of the country because of “growing intolerance” in India.
Sushant Singh Rajput death
The hashtag ‘Boycott Bollywood’ started trending after actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s demise in 2022. The trend picked up once again before the release of films like ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’, ‘Liger’, ‘Brahmastra’, and ‘Raksha Bandhan’. It has badly impacted business in Bollywood.
Boycott call against Pathaan started after ‘Besharam Rang’ was was dropped online on December 12.
Kareena will next be seen in director Sujoy Ghosh’s thriller which is based on the book ‘The Devotion of Suspect X’. The film also stars Vijay Varma and Jaideep Ahlawat. The actor also has director Hansal Mehta’s next untitled film.
