After marking her presence in her latest releases, ‘Lust Stories 2’ and ‘The Trial’, actor Kajol has sparked a chatter around her ‘uneducated politicians’ remark, which she made during an interview. The actor was quoted as saying that India is ruled by political leaders with no educational system background.
This statement prompted a backlash on the internet, as some disregarded her point of view. Kajol then took to Twitter to make her point on this matter, where she mentioned that she was merely making a point about education and its importance and had no intention to demean any political leaders.
Kajol faces social media outrage
During a chat regarding her recent release ‘The Trial’, Kajol made a few comments that fell negatively upon the eyes of a significant number of internet users. Talking about her recent release, she said that “Change, especially in a country like India, is slow. It is very, very slow. Because we are steeped in our tradition, steeped in our thought processes. Of course it has to do with education.”
Adding to her point, she further mentioned, “You have political leaders who do not have an educational system background. I am sorry but I am going to go out and say that. I have been ruled by leaders, so many of them, who do not have that viewpoint, which I think education does give you at least the chance to look for a different viewpoint”. Her remarks drew criticism on social media, pointing out the actor’s academic qualifications.
Kajol clarifies “none are to be demeaned”
As the matter became tense regarding her statements, Kajol took to Twitter to state with a clarification that “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.”
