    Veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah, who is often in the news over his political views, recently slammed the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan. He also bashed Indian Muslims who were celebrating the rule of the Taliban. In the video, Naseeruddin Shah said, “Even as the Taliban's return to power in Afghanistan is a cause for concern for the whole world, there are celebrations among some sections of Indian Muslims. This celebration of the barbarians is no less dangerous.”
    Absolutely!

    He was bashed for it and in an exclusive interview with NDTV, Shah clarified what he meant by ‘Hindustani (or Indian) Islam’ and also about the rise of propaganda films in Bollywood. He also spoke about how the three Khans have always chosen to stay mum on international or national issues.

    He told NDTV, “They also being financed, also promised a clean chit if they make movies which are propaganda, to put it bluntly. In Nazi Germany also this was attempted. Filmmakers who were outstanding, world-class, were rounded up and asked to make films propagating the Nazi philosophy. The kind of big-budget films that are coming. The big ones cannot disguise the jingoistic agenda.”
    He also addressed why Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, and Shah Rukh Khan have always kept mum on sharing their views about any national or international politics. Shah said, “Obviously they’re worried because of the extent of harassment they will be subjected to.” 
    “I cannot speak for them but I can imagine they have so much to lose. They would be subjected to all manner of harassment, not just financial. Also, the fact is it's not only the Muslims who receive flak, a person like (filmmaker) Anand Patwardhan is getting threats and constantly receiving flak and abuse from the right-wingers for the opinions he holds,” he added.

    He also felt that his previous statements in the video were reasonable and there was nothing to get offended by. Giving back to his haters, he said, “It's not an ordinary time. There is an atmosphere of bottled hate just waiting to be released. People are waiting to take offense to anything. If people had listened to my first statement carefully they would have realized there is nothing to get their knickers in a twist about. What I said was perfectly reasonable because the history of Taliban tells us to be wary, no matter how many promises they may now make for moderation, which I don’t think they will live up to."
    Do you agree with his statements? Let us know in the comments section below.

    Nothing escapes the hawk-eyed netizens/fashion police who notice the tiniest sartorial sins on screen. 
    It has happened multiple times that costume designers and filmmakers have goofed up in making the costumes and outfits of the characters in the movie, which were either historically inaccurate, culturally inappropriate or simply weird enough to irk fans.

    From the wrong military uniforms to controversial outfits and accessories worn by actors, fashion in films have ended up outraging fans and fashion freaks alike.

    Here are all the times costumes in movies sparked controversies:

    1. Royally Exposed Midriff In Padmaavat © Bhansali Productions
    Deepika Padukone’s Padmaavat was accused by the Karni Sena and Rajput caste organisations of portraying their queen Padmavati in a bad light and tarnishing her image. 

    One controversy also surrounded the popular song 'Ghoomar', where some said a woman of her stature would never dance in front of people like that. 
    Her ghagra-choli with exposed midriff was also edited and concealed, lest anyone found it to be “unbecoming” of the character.    
    2. The Case Of Wrong Uniform In Rustom © Sandeep Unnithan
    Many Bollywood movies are guilty of making goof ups with military uniforms and Akshay Kumar’s Rustom is also one of them. 

    Akshay plays a naval officer and his uniform is all flawed and the sheer lack of research is to be blamed for that. 
    From epaulettes facing the wrong direction to two medals of Kargil war 1999 (the movie is set in 1959) there is plenty wrong with the navy uniform donned by Kumar. 
    3. Saree, Not Saree In Bharat © T-Series
    Something that irked fans more than Selmon Bhoi’s song, ‘Slow Motion’ in Bharat was the thing (we don’t know what to call it) worn by Disha Patani. 

    It was claimed to be a saree but desis were adamant that it wasn’t even close to the traditional attire they knew of. 
    She wore a yellow chiffon fabric around her waist and twisted the end into a rope style pallu that went over her shoulder. If it was a saree, they should be sorry. 
    4. The Belt With The ‘Kirpan’ In Dishoom  © Eros International
    In the song ‘Sau Tarah Ke’ Jacqueline Fernandez is seen dancing in a white dress and a belt around her waist which has a ‘kirpan’ (a knife which is among the 5 articles of faith in Sikhism). 

    This was probably supposed to be a fashion accessory but ended up offending the entire Sikh community who demanded the removal of the song, citing cultural appropriation. The ‘kirpan’ was edited out, while the belt stayed.
    5. Vicky Kaushal’s Badges In Sam Bahadur © Instagram/Vicky Kaushal
    Another uniform mistake was pointed out by a retired Indian Army officer as soon as Vicky Kaushal dropped the first glimpse of his upcoming movie where he is playing the field Marshal of India, Sam Manekshaw. 

    He said, “Vicky Kaushal...is wearing wrong colour badges of rank. Sam was a Gurkha, never wore brass, always black badges.” 
    The movie isn’t released yet and people are hoping the filmmakers make the correction before it hits the screen.
