Suniel Shetty on Bollywood celebrities being labelled as drug addicts: In recent years, the Hindi film industry, also known as Bollywood, has been targeted for its alleged drug problem. Many Bollywood celebrities have been targeted by the Narcotics Control Bureau, and hashtags like #BoycottBollywood have been trending on social media whenever a well-known name has been implicated in one of these cases. In an attempt to put an end to these allegations against the film industry, actor Suniel Shetty stated at a recent event that Bollywood is not the drug haven that it has been portrayed in recent years.
The senior actor was speaking to the media at a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) event when he stated that Bollywood is not full of druggies. The actor claimed that celebrities are being targeted as ‘drug addicts,’ but he doesn’t know anyone who has abused drugs.
Suniel Shetty’s controversial statement about ‘Bollywood Druggies’ is trending on social media.
“Ek galti kardo toh chor hai, dakait hai,” Shetty said. Nahi main 30 saal se industry mein hoon aur 300 dost hain mere jinhone zindagi mein kuch kiya nahi hai (You are called thieves and dacoits for making one mistake. I’ve been in this industry for 30 years and have many friends who have never done such things). As you mentioned, the gateway, but that gateway must end there.”
