Abhijeet Bhattacharya has sung popular tracks for renowned Bollywood movies like Om Shanti Om, Dhoom, Coolie No. 1 among others. In recent years, he often makes noise for his controversial remarks. He’s now exposed the dark side of Bollywood and claims most actors are “paid bhakts” in the country. Scroll below for all the details!
Most Bollywood actors have been out and open about their political inclinations. Urmila Matondkar, Sunny Deol, Jaya Bachchan, Hema Malini, Govinda, and Shatrughan Sinha are among other celebrities who joined politics in the past. Recently, Kangana Ranaut joined the BJP ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections and has been granted a ticket from Mandi.
Abhijeet Bhattacharya on Bollywood’s “desh bhakti”
Abhijeet Bhattacharya has now taken a brutal dig at Bollywood celebrities and claims they are paid for their political inclinations. He also claims he is the only “true” Desh Bhakt from Bollywood in the country.
In a conversation with Bollywood Bubble, Abhijeet Bhattacharya added, “Bollywood ka ek admi desh bhakt nahi hai. Yahan ek husband kuch bolte hai, aur wife ja ke parliament mein mazak udati hai. Koi Ram Lalla ke darshan karne ja rahe hai, toh wife jis party mein hai woh party wale inko gali dete hai. So paisa de ke kisi se desh bhakti mat karao. Maine paise kamaye hai aur bahut kuch gawaya hai desh bhakti mein. Now I am what I am, mein sirf gana gayunga aur logo ko entertain karunga.”
(There’s not one person from Bollywood who is a true nationalist. The husband says something while the wife contradicts it with her mockery in the parliament. Somebody is visiting the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya while the wife abuses the political party she is herself a part of. Don’t pay anyone to become a nationalist. I have earned a lot of money but lost much more in this desh bhakti. Now, I will restrict myself to singing songs and entertaining the masses.)
