Actresses at New Parliament Stir Controversy

Bollywood stars Bhumi Pednekar and Shehnaaz Gill, accompanied by the team of their movie Thank You For Coming, recently toured the new Parliament building.

Tamannaah Bhatia, Mehreen Pirzada, Divya Dutta, and others also got invited to visit the new Parliament. Their tour was personally overseen by BJP Central Minister Anurag Thakur, who acted as their guide.

This move by the ruling party has stirred controversy on social media, with many expressing disapproval. Critics argue that using the Parliament for film promotion undermines its importance as a symbol of democracy.

One Twitter user wrote, “A Parliament is the strongest institution of a democratic nation; nonsense like these undermines its value. Anurag Thakur, do your PR elsewhere.”

Some questioned why a government minister had to act as a tour guide when official staff could have facilitated the visit. Many also highlighted the irony of BJP leaders promoting Bollywood movies while they themselves gave calls for its boycott on many occasions, including this movie, Thank You For Coming.
