It appears that some Bollywood films are being hit extremely hard by the boycott culture. Movies or celebrities are sometimes hit by angry netizens who wish to boycott them. Meanwhile, users are calling for boycotting Amitabh Bachchan’s cult show, Kaun Banega Crorepati 14 as well.
Kaun Banega Crorepati’s 14th season has begun. Amitabh Bachchan is back once again with the hot seat. The inaugural programme of KBC was a ‘Azadi Diwas’ special dedicated to Indian heroes. Boxing champion MC Mary Kom, renowned footballer Sunil Chhetri, Kargil icon Major DP Singh, and Col Mithali Madhumita, India’s first female officer to win the gallantry medal, were among those who graced the hot seat. Aamir Khan’s name appears on this list as well. Mr. Perfectionist has appeared in this quiz programme to promote his film Lal Singh Chaddha. However, there has been a social media outrage about this.
Since the release of the Lal Singh Chaddha trailer, there has been a social media backlash against the film. #BoycottLaalSinghChaddha has been trending on social media for some time. On Twitter, people are urging people not to watch Aamir Khan’s film because of his ‘intolerance’ remark. People are now enraged after witnessing Aamir in KBC 14. Along with this, he began the KBC boycott trend. Posts are being shared one after the other on the Twitter, claiming that KBC is a staged and fabricated show.
Laal Singh Chaddha will be released in theatres on August 11. However, people are constantly criticising Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor’s previous views. Kareena has previously stated on television that “if you have an issue with Star Kids flicks, don’t go to the cinema, no one has forced you.” Aamir Khan, on the other hand, stated in 2015 that his wife Kiran Rao was afraid in this country.
