Critically acclaimed actor Manoj Bajpayee, who will next be seen in Milap Milan Zaveri’s Satyameva Jayate believes that people are mocking their own religion. His co-actor John Abraham also feels that the world is getting polarised and people are becoming extremists.<\/p>\n
The actor-producer said: “The whole world is getting polarised. Now if something goes wrong, people start blaming a particular community. By communalising, we are only creating fringe elements in the society. After becoming fringe elements, people become extremists. So it is us who are creating terror.”<\/p>\n
Asked about lynchings and killings happening in the country in the name of religion, Bajpayee said: “People have started making religion a joke. I also believe in religion. Everyone has his or her own belief, but instead of making a joke out of one’s religion, one should respect and protect his or her religion.”<\/p>\n
Manoj also expressed his anger on the Kanwar incident that involved dozens of Shiva devotees turning violent and smashing a car here. He cited his own experience. “When I was 17, I also went on this pilgrimage from Sultanganj to Haridwar to fetch holy water. It was a wonderful experience, but now what I am reading from the past two days about the incident where dozens of kanwariyas, armed with sticks, wrecked a car… makes me sick. What these angry mobs did is not my religion. My religion is what I have experienced. By doing all this, people are just mocking their own religion.”<\/p>\n
John also expressed his concern over women’s safety in India. He said: “People get offended when someone from outside says that India is not safe for women. I also feel bad, but this is the truth. So instead of feeling bad, one should do something and make a safe place for women. If you see a woman being molested, and if you ask that woman, she will feel that her clothes are being taken off even without a man’s physical touch. I feel like slapping that man. First, what is needed is to make our women feel safe.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
