Jaya Bachchan hits out at Ravi Kishan

Earlier, Ravi Kishan has raised the issue of the use of drugs in the film industry after which Samajwadi Party MP Jaya Bachchan stated that she was “ashamed that one of our members in the Lok Sabha, who is from the film industry, spoke against it.”

“Just because there are some people, you cannot tarnish the image of the entire industry. I am ashamed that
one of our members in the Lok Sabha, who is from the film industry, spoke against it. It is a shame,” she said. The statement of the Samajwadi Party MP came during the zero hour in Rajya Sabha. She stated that people working in the entertainment industry are “flogged” by social media.

“People in the entertainment industry are being flogged by social media. People who made their name in the industry have called it a gutter. I completely disagree. I hope that the government tells such people not to use this kind of language,” she said.

This comes at the time when the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) Mumbai is undertaking an investigation into alleged drugs use and supply in the industry that had surfaced during a probe into the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput.
