"This industry is too politicised," we've heard actors say it over and over
again. Politics known customarily as the 'dirty game,' has in recent times
become a term used colossally more in a negative sense than a positive one.
Today, it relates more to anarchy, distrust and fraud instead of sole
concept of being there to serve the people and govern a nation.
Bollywood or should we say the Hindi film industry so as to be
'politically' correct on the other hand - is a field of 'gold' corn that's
aglitter thanks to its glamour, not to discredit the illicit 'gold coins'
being pumped into magnum-opuses. But underneath this dazzle lies a
questionable truth that leaves the starry-eyed hoi-polloi thankful that they
aren't a part of this 'bad world' either.
