While taking part in the 28th International Kolkata Film Festival’s opening ceremony on Thursday, Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan underlined that while social media use has increased due to negativity, people like him will not be affected and will instead continue to be positive.
“Social media is frequently fueled by a particular narrowness of perspective that reduces human nature to its most primitive self…
I read that negativity encourages the use of social media…
Such endeavours contain a common narrative, which is divisive & destructive – “Speaking at the occasion in Kolkata, Shah Rukh Khan. People like us will remain optimistic no matter what the outside world does, the actor continued.
The 28th International Kolkata Film Festival was also launched by Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan on Thursday night.
Along with them, Mahesh Babu, Mamta Banerjee, Rani Mukerjee, and cricketer Sourav Ganguly attended the spectacular inauguration event.
While Rani was seen twinning with her co-star from “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai,” the “Swades” actor was dressed in a stunning black saree.
The lesson the children of India have learned from the West is to reject Western ideologies at these times of political instability. That is not our goal. India exists to bring all ethnicities together. All Indians’ hearts must resound with Tagore’s words, according to Mahesh Bhatt.
“Rejecting any race, any culture, or anything else is not in the spirit of India… To understand everything as it is with compassion and love must be our utmost goal.
It’s the essence of India,” declared director Mahesh Bhatt at the International Kolkata Film Festival, paraphrasing Rabindranath Tagore.
Amitabh, on the other hand, wore a blue suit to the event.
The 28th edition of the Kolkata International Film Festival, presented by the Information and Cultural Affairs Department of the Government of West Bengal, is slated to take place between December 15 and December 22, 2022, in Kolkata, according to the official website.
