Vivek Agnihotri’s The Kashmir Files starring Anupam Kher, Darshan Kumar, Pallavi Joshi, and Mithun Chakraborty is ruling at the box office. The movie is based on the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits, and while moviegoers are liking it, there are a few people calling it a propaganda film. A few days ago, actress Yami Gautam, who is married to Aditya Dhar (a Kashmiri Pandit), had tweeted about the movie. She had posted, “Being married to a Kashmiri Pandit, I know first hand of the atrocities that this peace-loving community has gone through. But majority of the nation is still unaware. It took us 32 years and a film to get to know the truth. Please watch and support #TheKashmirFiles.” Also Read - OMG 2 actress Yami Gautam exposes Bollywood's ugly side; reveals how she worked in films against her wish
Recently, while talking to Hindustan Times, the actress opened up about The Kashmir Files being called a propaganda film. Yami said, “This is beyond filmmaking. Also, beyond a point, you have to cancel a lot of things in your head. As long as you are a part of something which you believe in and you really like it, then you stick to it. When you know in your heart the intention [with which] something has been made [being tagged as propaganda] it’s even more painful.” Also Read - Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 box office collection day 5: Kartik Aaryan starrer springs another BUMPER surprise but fails to beat The Kashmir Files, Gangubai Kathiawadi
“If someone feels the other way, why don’t they speak to people who have spent years and years in those refugee camps? So many of them are still there and it has become a home for them. I think they would be able to answer these people [asking questions] better. I would love to go with the majority sentiment, with my truth, with what I have heard, and who I trust. And so many people cannot lie. Emotional pain [shown in The Kashmir Files] is beyond all these debates and agendas,” she added.
