Bollywood veteran Anupam Kher is being lauded for his performance in the Bollywood movie Kashmir files. However, several social media are reminding the actor of his tweets done during the congress era and comparing them to his stance after BJP came to power in 2014.
In one of the actor’s tweets dated 03 September, 2011, he wrote, ” problem is NOT with Kashmiri Pandits and Muslims, We have lived together for years peacefully. It’s POLITICIANS my friend :).”
“My heart bleeds of Kashmir. Politics and terrorism has turned heaven into hell for its people… both Hindus and Muslims,” his another tweet dated 29 June 2010 reads.
Senior journalist Umashankar Singh sharing the screenshot of old tweets of Anupam Kher, senior writes, ‘It is not that Anupam Kher has made a single tweet with Hindu Muslim equality 7-8 years ago by mistake. There are many such tweets which tell the secular ideology of his then. Changes in the script then started later. Well a great film could be made on a change in the brain chip!’
ऐसा नहीं है कि अनुपम खेर ने आज से 7-8 साल पहले हिन्दू मुस्लिम समानता वाला कोई एकाध ट्वीट ग़लती से कर दिया हो। बहुत से ऐसे ट्वीट्स हैं जो उनके तब के सेकुलर विचारधारा को बताते हैं। पटकथा में परिवर्तन तो बाद में शुरू हुआ। वैसे दिमाग़ी चिप में बदलाव पर एक बेहतरीन फ़िल्म बन सकती है!🤔 pic.twitter.com/XE4pfkKeu8

Re-tweeting the tweet, senior journalist Ajit Anjum asked, ” It was you, wasn’t it AnupamPKher sir? Are all your own tweets? Changed both your software and hardware after 2014?
ये तो आप ही थे न @AnupamPKher साहब ?
आपके ही ट्वीट हैं न सारे ?
2014 के बाद अपना सॉफ्टवेयर और हार्डवेयर दोनों बदल लिया ? https://t.co/mjK1VsL0or— Ajit Anjum (@ajitanjum) March 15, 2022
At the same time, a user named Neha Singh, while sharing a screenshot of a tweet by Anupam Kher, writes that this tweet seems to be in the context of the present, even the leaders in Parliament are busy promoting the movie to bake their rotis.
A user named Pushpendra Pathak writes that it is correct that Gujarat files should also be made, but how to start a train by an MLA by pouring petrol burnt… it will also have to be shown. The Gujarat riots were a response to a backlash. But there was no response in Kashmir.
