‘Boycott Bollywood’ trend on social media won’t last long, says Actor Shefali Shah

“Boycott Bollywood films” has been trending on social media since last year but this voice has been growing louder over the past months. 

Recently, a few Bollywood movies such as Laal Singh Chaddha, Darlings, and Raksha Bandhan fell prey to this campaign.

Actor Shefali Shah feels this campaign is just a momentary trend and not something that will last.

Many people claim that the Boycott trend on social media is responsible for the below-average performance of Hindi movies. And others say that this campaign affected the box office and many films failed due to such a trend.

Recently, In an interview, Delhi Crime actor Shefali Shah said, “It’s a trend. I don’t think it’s long-lasting,” she said. When asked about the notion that Bollywood is ‘dying’, the actor said, “I don’t think it’s possible. Films are a culture like a cricket. It can’t die…it can’t. People have their points of view, they have their opinions, but there is also a lot of love and appreciation that we get. I think we should just take it in our stride and just say ‘we tried’ and we move on.”
