Actors today are woke, self-aware, and conscious of the political climate around them.They are taking the honest route in voicing their opinions and baring their hearts like never before.?
Actor Adil Hussain who hails from Assam, has been a valuable asset to Indian Cinema. Be it his contribution to the regional cinema or his international outings, his performances have always been commendable.?
?In a recent interview with MensXP, Adil spoke about Bollywood looking down upon a certain color or race over the years.?
He was quoted as saying, ¡°There have been many biases for that matter.?Bollywood, too has stemmed from a society that has many taboos. Every society has its own biases against people of a certain race, color, or poor economic background.¡±?
¡°I have always been asked about Priyanka Chopra playing Mary Kom, and I reply to them that I am very fond of her and she is an accomplished actor, but Bollywood lost an opportunity to cast a northeastern face and introduce it to the audience.¡±?
Talking about stereotypes that Bollywood has solidified in all these years, he said that people from the Northeast are looked down upon as Chinese in Hindi films. He said,?
¡°I would like to give an example: imagine, if a north-eastern person plays Milkha Singh, how would people feel about it so why wasn¡¯t a north-eastern actor cast for Mary Kom. I feel Bollywood can redeem itself by casting someone from the Northeast.¡±?
While Priyanka Chopra essayed the titular role, Lin played a supporting role.
