Pooja Bhatt raises concerns over public behaviour in metro amid viral Navratri celebration video

Bollywood actress Pooja Bhatt is in the news these days due to one of her social media posts. Actually, a video is going viral, in which people are seen singing songs during Navratri in the metro. In this video, people are wearing traditional clothes for the festival. They are seen singing loudly while sitting on and below the seats in the metro. In this video, people are seen singing the song 'Bharat ka bachcha bachcha Jai Shri Ram bolega'.

Pooja quoted a twitter user Kunal Purohit’s tweet, which read, “This, truly, is what Hindutva Pop music has been designed for–the easy appeal that it creates among various classes, across the rural & urban. Well-heeled, upper-class youngsters, seeing no problem in singing this in a metro. H-Pop is everywhere.” She expressed her concern, stating, “How is this permissible in a public space? Doesn’t matter if it is Hindutva pop, Christmas carols, Bollywood blockbusters or anything in between. Public spaces cannot be misused in this manner. How and why are the authorities permitting this? Yeah, now bring on the abuse (sic).

 

Pooja further emphasised the need for order, saying, “If we can’t follow basic rules, there is no hope for law & order to prevail in the real sense. Illegal hoardings of ALL political parties that desecrate the city, the metro being turned into a party zone. Firecrackers being lit in the middle of the street—used as cover by assailants .”

Talking about the work front, Pooja Bhatt was recently seen in the reality TV show 'Bigg Boss OTT 2'. Now she will be seen in Amazon Prime Video's series 'Big Girls Don't Cry'. In this series, she has played the role of a school principal. Apart from Pooja Bhatt, Avantika Vandanapu, Anit Padda, Vidushi, Afrah Syed, Akshita Sood, Raima Sen and Zoya Hussain will also be seen in important roles in this series.
