The internet is buzzing after a video clip of Javed Akhtar started doing the rounds. In the clip, the famous writer made a comment about Muslims that caused a lot of trouble. Now, popular singer Lucky Ali has fired back with a very strong message, and the online world is divided.
What Did Javed Akhtar Say?
The whole thing started when Akhtar was talking about the classic film Sholay. He remembered a scene where Hema Malini’s character, Basanti, talks to Lord Shiva. He said that today, it’s hard to write scenes like that because people get offended easily.
While talking about this, he reportedly said, “I was in Poona (Pune) with Raju Hirani (Rajkumar Hirani) in front of a big audience where I told them, ‘Don’t become like Muslims. Make them like yourself. You are becoming like Muslims.’” This comment quickly spread online, and many people felt it was hurtful.
Lucky Ali’s Sharp Reply
The comment did not go down well with many, including singer Lucky Ali. He went on X (what everyone used to call Twitter) and posted a very blunt response.
His post read, “Don’t become like Javed Akhtar, never original and ugly as f***”. This sharp reply went viral almost instantly, adding more fuel to the fire.
The Internet Is Divided
As expected, social media users had a lot to say. Some people supported Lucky Ali for speaking his mind, even if his words were harsh. They felt Akhtar’s comment was wrong and needed to be called out.
On the other hand, many felt that Ali’s personal attack was too much and not necessary. The fight has turned into a big debate about free speech, religion, and how public figures should talk to each other.
Javed Akhtar Responds To The Criticism
After facing so much criticism for the video, Javed Akhtar gave his reaction. He said that he is not bothered by all the noise.
The veteran writer mentioned that he often gets into trouble for his opinions. He pointed out that he has even received police protection in the past and has been called names for years because he speaks his mind. Right now, both Lucky Ali and Javed Akhtar are trending topics, showing just how sensitive this issue has become.
