We have to be able to separate personal from professional: Meghna on Deepika's JNU visit
Chhapaak, which stars Deepika in the main role, catapulted to national headlines after the Bollywood A-lister showed up at a public meeting in JNU campus three days before the release of the film. She did not speak but stood silently behind student leaders. The actor, who also turned producer with the film, was both lauded and trolled for her visit to the varsity.
Breaking the silence over her visit, filmmaker Meghna Gulzar in a telephonic interview with PTI said, "We have to be able to separate between the personal and professional. What somebody does in their personal life and what they have done as a professional in a film needs to be looked at separately. While they are trying to separate the lens of personal and professional, if one can slightly divert the lens back to the reason why we made the film and what we are trying to talk about and bring to light... I think it is important."
