During the interviews for her upcoming show The Trial, actress Kajol was speaking to The Quint when she spoke about our country and political leaders. She said, “You have political leaders who do not have an educational system background. I’m sorry but I’m going to go out and say that. I’m being ruled by leaders, so many of them, who do have a viewpoint which I think education does give you at least the chance to look out for a different viewpoint.”
The social media outrage and debate
Here are some reactions:
Kajol has every right to call out Netas. Kajol is a taxpayer and a voter. Her education does not matter. By that logic all those who hounded Kajol shud learn to act Brilliantly like she does.
Netas IQ’s & Educational levels are Pits. Stop Hounding Kajol.
Go Cry somewhere else. https://t.co/1GXWy8CIcq— कबीरा (@SecularTrainee) July 8, 2023
Actor’s clarification
Upon the outrage and the debate, Kajol shared a tweet that read- “I was merely making a point about education and its importance. My intention was not to demean any political leaders, we have some great leaders who are guiding the country on the right path.”
