Speaking with Ranveer Allahbadia on his podcast, addressed how she was not liked by many people because of her own approach to religion. She addressed her own film, The Vvaan: Force of the Forrest, and how it talked about Bihari folklore.
“Numbers are great for the film. What is really important is that it deals with folklore. I’m just gonna say it on camera, Hinduphobia, and we have so much of phobia with what do we call… We’re okay with animated animation, but we’re not okay with discussing folklore and mythology.”
She continued, “So I’m so okay with bringing it all out and having people accept it. There’s so much more acceptance now.”
She added, “I can’t even tell you. Wearing a tika and wearing your, your religion on your sleeve is such a problem.”
She further recalled an incident where people didn’t believe that she was going to mandir because she would party often. At the same time, as a younger girl, she couldn’t express her religious identity because she would wear a dhaaga and tika and would be called out for it.
Fyi: Ekta Kapoor recieved foreign funding to make soft porn & purposely name it after hindu God Balaji, not only this but the actresses recruited among them to be of all upper castes with prominent particular surnames. All those adult serials were made to tarnish sanatan society.
