19th October saw several Bollywood biggies meeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the ‘Change Within Meet’, an initiative to mark Mahatma Gandhi’s 150th birth anniversary by preaching his words of wisdom and life lessons. While most celebs were all praises for the PM, south actress Khushbu Sundar has expressed her disappointment. Earlier, Ram Charan’s wife too had shared her viewpoint on this issue.
Khusbhu said that while she is very happy to see the Bollywood brigade being a part of the initiative, she was rather disappointed after the prime minister left out the industry Down South. Taking to her Twitter handle, Khusbhu said, “With all due respect to all those who met our H’ble PM @narendramodi ji last eve on behalf of Indian cinema, would like to remind @PMOIndia that Hindi films alone do not represent or contribute to the economy of this country. South Indian cinema is the largest contributor.. cont.”

She further went on to write, “South Indian cinema represents our country globally. The best of talent comes from south India. The biggest superstars come from south India. India’s best actors belong to south India. Best technicians are South Indian. So why was South industry not invited? Why this inequality?”

Lastly the actress concluded saying, “Would really appreciate if my pioneers and peers who have made South Indian cinema a pride of the country, are invited and shown the same respect as I feel they rightly deserve it. Expecting @PMOIndia to look into it.”

Well, while we certainly agree to the fact the industry Down South has been becoming bigger and better with each passing year and not to forget that the industry has given us megastars like Rajinikanth, Ram Charan and the national heartthrob Prabhas, do let us know what you feel about the same!
