Demonetisation: Shahid, Kareena, Deepika joins rest of B-Town to support Modi's move

November 14, 2016

Mumbai, Nov 14: Bollywood support keeps growing for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's demonetisation move. After the Khans, Aishwarya, Akshay and Ajay voiced their approval of Modi's move to declare Rs 500 and Rs 1000 as invalid currency, now Shahid Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Pink actor Taapsee Pannu have joined in to stand by our Prime Minister.

skdShahid said that the government's step was extremely important and rather bold.

"If we have to eliminate corruption, when it is so much, it is necessary to take a hard step. I think its still early to comment on how it'll go because there are certain practicalities attached to the change in currency notes. It is going to be difficult," said Shahid Kapoor.

Shahid agreed that people are finding it difficult to cope up with the sudden change of affairs; standing in long queues outside banks and ATMs and facing difficulties to transact cash in day-to-day life but added that the step taken by the Modi government is pointing in the right direction.

"Everybody is finding it difficult, but if it leads to less corruption, less black money, less fake money - which is also a very big issue we are facing - then I think its a bold step and in the right direction," said the Udta Punjab actor.

Shahid's ex-flame Kareena Kapoor Khan also supported the move saying, "It is a very good decision." When asked if she was having problems to exchange currency, Kareena said, "I am only carrying Rs 2000 note, I dont have Rs 500, 1000 note!"

Shahid's Padmavati co-star Deepika also hailed the demonetisation policy as an exceptional move.

Actor Tamannaah Bhatia echoed Shahid statements about the policy being aimed at the greater good.

"I know the common man is facing a lot of difficulty because of this condition but I know for a fact that it is for a good cause and eventually this will turn out to be the right thing to do. From a long run perspective this is the best thing to have happened," said Bhatia.

Aditi Rao Hydari and Pink actor Taapsee Pannu issued similar statements.

"People like vegetable vendors and others are facing inconvenience and I am trying to help them. But it is a very good step by the government," said Hydari.

Taapsee Pannu said, "People will face problems obviously, but I think it should be good for the longer run... It is like an experiment, I don't know if it will work or not but it is worth giving a shot."

Chennai, Feb 5: The popular cine actor Rajinikanth has defended the Union Government on the Citizenship Amendment Act, saying it will not affect the Indian Muslims.

In a brief interaction with reporters this morning in Chennai, the matinee idol said if the Muslims are affected by the CAA, he would be at the forefront in their defence. He asked how will the legislation affect the Indian Muslims when they chose to stay back in the country to make it their motherland. Mr Rajinikanth also supported the National Population Register saying it has been in force even in the past.

On the NRC, Mr Rajinikanth said the Government has already made it clear that its nationwide rollout has not been even discussed so far. Mr Rajinikanth is nourishing political ambitions and has made it clear that he would plunge into politics ahead of the Tamil Nadu Assembly Elections in the state which is due in 2021.

This law violates the fundamentals of the Indian constitution. Whey they are seeing the Muslims angle first?

 

It looks that they are misinforming the public by diverting into a Muslim only issue. If that was the case, why so many non-Muslims are protesting? I looks like Rajini has back-end support to the center's CAA move.

Washington, Mar 11: Pop star Selena Gomez made some revelations about her personal life in a recent interview.

While explaining the lyrics of her song "Rare" on the 'Genius' YouTube channel, the 27-year-old said that there are times when she feels that she will ever be able to find a suitable partner for herself, reported Fox News.

"Some days when I wake up and I am annoyed and I am like, 'I am going to be alone forever.' But after that 15 minutes go away, I say to myself, 'I know that there is someone for everybody," the singer told in the seven-and-a-half minute long video.

However, she remains optimistic as she is still young and "this isn't the end all be all".

Elaborating upon the chorus of her song, Gomez opened up and said, "self-esteem and confidence is a constant struggle".

"It's getting better with time and age, but it will always be something that I'm working on," she added while explaining the lyrics further.

"So what I think is so important about this chorus is that it's acknowledging, 'Hey, I don't have it all. I'm not saying I'm perfect, but I do know that I'm special,' and I think that is a humble approach of saying, 'Why don't you see that I am different?'" the singer added as reported by Fox News.

Touching upon her experiences from past relationships, she commented: "In certain relationships, I've heard and I've experienced and whatnot, I think men and women do it -- especially teenagers and young people in love -- is there's this satisfaction out of hurting someone because you know that they care. Purposefully putting someone down because they want to keep them at a level. I've had someone actually say that to me before".
