Neena Gupta opens up on accusations of Bollywood glorifying violence, clarifies that it is upto an individual – Times of India

Struggling to get good roles till a few years back, Neena has her plate full now and has recently been appreciated for movies like
Badhaai ho, 83,
Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan and the recent
Uunchai. The veteran actor will now be soon in
Vadh, an emotional crime-thriller, along side Sanjay Mishra. In the movie, the two will play an older couple who are carrying on with their usual lives, until a crime upends their quiet existence and uproots their world.

Recently, there have been talks about cinema glorifying violence, with case in point being the Shraddha Walkar murder where it was reported that Aaftab Poonawala, who was also her boyfriend, was inspired by crime shows and movies and used that modus operandi to murder the young girl. Saying that cinema shows both sides of the coin, Neena Gupta told The Indian Express that it is upto an individual on what he would like to inculcate in his daily life. Elaborating further, the actor said that respect for parents, honesty and moral righteousness is also shown in movies, so people should pick that as well.

Vadh will hit theatres later this week.
