Prasoon Joshi comes out in support of Kangana says she is telling her truth and it shouldn’t be trivialised

CBFC Chairman Prasoon Joshi recently came out in support of Kangana Ranaut in the ongoing Bollywood drug row. According to him, Kangana is telling her truth and it should not be trivialised. Talking about Bollywood being singled out in the drug abuse angle, Prasoon told Times Now that discrediting the industry which has done some wonderful work is not right. However, he also stated that Kangana Ranaut is talking about her truth and it shouldn’t be trivialised.

Kangana Ranaut had alleged that about 99 percent of people in Bollywood are drug addicts. Her comment received criticism from Bollywood celebs who came out in defense of the film industry. Jaya Bachchan, in her speech in the parliament, had mentioned that Bollywood should not be discredited as it contributes to the Indian economy. However, Kangana had reacted strongly to Jaya Bachchan's speech back then too. Kangana had opened up about drug abuse in Bollywood in an interview earlier with Times Now and had backed NCB's drug case investigation. The actress has time and again used her Twitter handle to share her opinion over the drug case investigation. When Deepika Padukone, Sara Ali Khan, Shraddha Kapoor and others were summoned by NCB, Kangana had even reacted to it on social media.
