Nitin Sawant · 05/12/2025 - Farah Khan called Holi a festival for ‘chhapri’ (uncultured) men, sparking outrage over her unprovoked remark.
- Bollywood once celebrated Holi with grand parties, but its attitude toward Hindu festivals has shifted negatively.
- The industry’s changing stance aligns with ideological shifts and external influences, distancing itself from Hindu traditions.
- Farah Khan remains silent on the misconduct of her husband and brother as well as of the Bollywood crowd at large, exposing the industry’s hypocrisy and selective outrage.
- Instead of apologizing, Bollywood deflects criticism, raising concerns about its biased portrayal of cultural festivals.
