Adah Sharma Defends Anti-JNU Remark in ‘Bastar: The Naxal Story’ Teaser, Echoing Previous Controversy

The Naxal Story, starring Adah Sharma, will be released on March 15. Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) understudies exhibited against the trailer of the looming film recently, calling for “activity” against the film’s makers and entertainers. Adah has now spoken out about the uproar surrounding her anti-JNU statement in the teaser in an interview.

Adah Sharma defends her film.

Adah Sharma stated, “I want people to think that I depicted her in the strongest, most fearless, and most forceful way when I play a tough cop like Neeraj Mathur in Bastar. In the movie, I want every word I say to be believed. She is expressing her indignation at seeing the 76 Jawans murdered and hacked into bits when she claims that they were butchered and that she wants to shoot them down. Though Neerja would explain it better than me, Adah might.

Bastar: The Naxal Story—JNU Controversy

Adah Sharma, who plays a police officer in Bastar: The Naxal Story, demands that “left-leaning pseudo-intellectuals” from large cities who “side with Naxals” be executed in public. She cites JNU as the location of a scenario in which students are said to have rejoiced over the murder of CRPF officers in Bastar, Chhattisgarh, by Naxals. In February, JNU students condemned the director for “spreading dangerous propaganda and inciting violence” after they set fire to the movie’s posters as a protest. “We demand that Sudipto Sen, Adah Sharma, and Vipul Amrutlal Shah be held accountable immediately for their outspoken calls for the genocide of JNU students. Such a move toward deceiving others is illegal. On X (previously Twitter), JNU Students Union President Aishe Ghosh declared, “We appeal to our alumni and V-C to take urgent action. We will take all legal steps.”

Adah Sharma’s response to criticism of her film

In the same interview, Adah Sharma responded to those criticizing her movie by saying, “Once people watch the film, they’ll understand what it’s about.” However, as I mentioned even during The Kerala Story, it’s a democracy; viewers have the freedom to decide whether or not to watch a movie and whether or not to leave a comment. Additionally, since it’s their decision, we ought to accept individuals who are commenting without having seen the movie.”

The Kerala Story Controversy

After working together on The Kerala Story for almost a year, Vipul Shah, Sudipto Sen, and Adah Sharma are back for Bastar: The Naxal Story, which is said to be based on actual Naxal episodes that happened in Chhattisgarh. Their most recent movie, The Kerala Story, caused a stir when the trailer said that 32,000 Keralan women had vanished and joined ISIS, a terrorist organization. Nevertheless, the controversial character in the trailer was eventually removed in response to criticism. Later, the description in the trailer was modified to read, “A story of three women from Kerala.”

Aamir Khan Reveals: Ex-Wife Reena Dutta Slapped, Bit His Hand During Labour: ‘Tried to Calm Her Down

Aamir Khan Reveals: Ex-Wife Reena Dutta Slapped, Bit His Hand During Labour: ‘Tried to Calm Her Down

Recently, when his ex-wife Reena Dutta went into labor, Aamir Khan talked about how he learned about human emotions. The actor talked candidly about his work and shared some memorable and humorous stories from his life during a recent appearance on The Great Indian Kapil Show. One such instance occurred when Aamir’s ex-wife accidentally slapped him during her childbirth. When questioned about his observations of people’s behavior during his presentation, Aamir responded that he pays close attention to them, especially in odd circumstances. Let me give you an idea of what I noticed, he stated in a conversation with Kapil Sharma. Junaid’s birth was scheduled for that day. Labor had begun for Reena Ji. There we were, at the hospital. I also worked on my breathing techniques, being a nice husband. With that, I attempted to soothe her as the labor became more painful. But I received a slap and was told to stop talking rubbish after that. It hurt Reena Ji so much. I swear, she bit my hand.

“Later, I realized what was happening around me,” Aamir continued. One thing struck me while someone was in excruciating pain, similar to what mothers experience after childbirth. Not that I planned this. It is only occurring for me. I noticed that Reena’s face was contorting, which is not what we usually see when someone is in pain but rather what she looks like. A look of astonishment appears when the pain is severe. It’s incredulity. It is a denial of something. The depth of her pain was beyond her comprehension. That, as an actor, I noticed. When Reena brought Junaid home later, I told her this, and she became enraged! (laughs). Ira Khan and Junaid Khan, Aamir Khan, and Reena Dutta’s two children, are the product of their nearly 16-year marriage. In 1986, Reena Dutta and Aamir Khan got married. In 2002, they broke up. In 2005, the actor married Kiran Rao following it. Azad Rao, their son, is still co-parented by them after their 2021 separation.

Aamir Khan Reflects on the ‘Power of Namaste’: Discusses Cultural Appreciation and Respect

This is Aamir Khan’s debut appearance on Kapil Sharma’s show. Several incidents from the actor’s performing career were featured in the most recent episode of Netflix’s The Great Indian Kapil Show. When filming Dangal (2016) in a Punjabi village, he also expressed gratitude for the people’s humility and claimed to have learned the importance of ‘namaste’ from them.

‘People in Punjab have so much respect for everyone’

“This is a story that is very close to me,” Aamir remarked in Hindi. I had a great time shooting in Punjab for Rang de Basanti. Love is abundant in Punjabi culture and its people. Thus, we were filming in a little village when we went for the Dangal shoot. We spent almost two months filming in that house and at that location. You won’t believe it, but whenever my car pulled up at 5 or 6 in the morning, folks would stand outside their houses and greet me with “Sat Sri Akaal” and folded hands. Before, they would simply wait to greet me. They never made any noise, never pulled over my car—nothing. They would once again be standing outside their houses when I returned after packing up and would say, “Good night.”

As a Muslim, Aamir said he was not accustomed to shaking hands and saying “namaste” to strangers. He said, “I’m from a Muslim family, so I’m not used to saying ‘namaste.'” I’m accustomed to bending my head and raising my hand in the Muslim greeting, adaab. Having spent two and a half months in Punjab, I realized the significance of ‘namaste.’ It’s such a beautiful feeling. Anyone in Punjab does not discriminate against anyone based on their status and treats everyone with such respect.”
