The last two days have raised quite a few questions on the nature and extent to which India's morality has fallen. The rapes of minor girls in Kathua in Jammu, and Unnao in Uttar Pradesh resulted in a severe backlash against authorities. The Hindi film industry, for once, did not shy away from the barbaric event and took to social media to express their disgust.
While Thursday (12 April) saw Farhan Akhtar, Riteish Deshmukh, Karan Johar, Varun Dhawan fire off tweets condemning the incident, female artistes took the torch on Friday (13 April). Actresses Swara Bhasker, Kalki Koechlin, Huma Qureshi and Gul Panag were among many who posted pictures of themselves as 'Hindustan', ashamed at the incidents.
With the film fraternity finally reacting to an event, it is perhaps time the industry also examines itself.
