Delhi Crime 2 star Shefali Shah reacts to boycott trend, says 'Bollywood can't...'

The Darlings actress Shefali Shah, who grabbed everyone’s attention with her performance in Delhi Crime season 1, is one of the most talented Bollywood actresses. The actress has worked in films including Monsoon Wedding, Waqt: The Race Against Time, Dil Dhadakne Do.

Her recent film Darlings also featured Alia Bhatt as the lead actress. Shefali will now be seen in the second season of Delhi Crime. In a recent interview with India Today, the actress opened up about the #boycott culture which has affected movies like Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor’s Laal Singh Chaddha, Akshay Kumar’s Raksha Bandhan, Taapsee Pannu, and Anurag Kashyap’s Dobaara.

For the unversed, netizens are boycotting Bollywood films these days. Aamir Khan’s starrer was boycotted due to the actor’s controversial statements in the past. While talking about the same, Shefali said, “It's a trend. I don't think it's long-lasting.”

When the interviewer said Bollywood ‘might be nearing its end’, the actress stated, “Really! I don't think it's possible. Film is a culture like cricket. It can't die...it can't. People have their point of views, they have their opinions, but there is also a lot of love and appreciation that we get. I think we should just take it in our stride and just say 'we tried' and we move on.” 

Meanwhile, Vijay, who was in Delhi on Monday, to promote his film Liger, said, “With Liger we expected a bit of drama...but we'll fight. We've put our heart into making this film. And I believe that I am correct. I feel that there is no room for fear, when I had nothing, I didn't fear, and now after having achieved something, I don't think there needs to be any fear even now.”
