Arun Govil on Rahman comments. Oscar winner Rahman stirred a hornet next when he made controversial comments talking about communal angle behind him lacking offers in the recent past.
Now, Arun Govil who played Lord Ram in Ramayan on small screen speaking to scribes said “In our industry, it has never happened where people have not got work due to communal bias. There are examples of this in our industry. In our industry, people of every religion have worked. Even today, there is no such thing. In fact, the film industry is the only industry where there is no communal bias.”
He added, “Earlier, we’ve had actors like Dilip Kumar, he was the king of the industry in his time. Even today, Shah Rukh, Salman, Aamir, they are all stars, if there were communal bias, how would they have become stars.”
Rahman had earlier said, “People who are not creative have the power now to decide things, and this might have been a communal thing also, but not in my face.” He added that such decisions often reached him indirectly, describing them as “Chinese whispers.”
