West Bengal CM comes to Kajol's support
The Bollywood star had recently been trolled for posting a video of a dish that appeared to be beef.
South Dinajpur: Chief minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday remarked that it was a dangerous trend that some people were becoming intolerant of the food habits of others, apparently referring to actor Kajol. The Bollywood star had recently been trolled for posting a video of a dish that appeared to be beef.
“I won’t name the actress. She has worked in many films with Shah Rukh Khan. Recently, she had posted a video online following which she was harassed and trolled online. She had to clarify that it was not beef but buffalo meat. It is an alarming situation,” said Ms Banerjee.
She said that it was a dangerous trend that some people became so intolerant that “they were trying to dictate what others should eat.”
Actor Kajol had posted a video of a beef dish that her friend had prepared, but after it attracted negative comments, she clarified on Monday that it was actually buffalo meat. The 42-year-old actress also issued a statement on Twitter, saying she did not want to hurt religious sentiments. She later deleted the clip from her Instagram and Facebook accounts.
