Anupam Kher Gave A Befitting Reply To British Presenter

Recently, Akshay Kumar was present in the UK to promote his upcoming movie ‘Toilet – Ek P'rem Katha’ along with co-stars Bhumi Pednekar and Anupam Kher. Based on PM Narendra Modi's ‘Swachh Bharat Campaign’, the film’s plot revolves around the sanitation problems in India. The actors were called for an interview by Chanel 4, during which the Airlift actor revealed that 54 percent of Indians still don’t have access to toilets.

During the interview, the presenter Krishnan Guru-Murthy asked the actors, “You are launching this on Independence Day”? To this, the three replied in unison, “Yes”. Then, the show’s host asked, “How do you feel this is such a big issue in your country 70 years after Independence”? Anupam chose to reflect a different perception, stating, “The expression is different on my side”.

“We are only 70 years old. Britishers ruled us for 200 years, they should have done that (educate people about sanitation). They did railway tracks first, for themselves. They wanted them to remain poor, not get educated, so that they can say ‘Oh these Indians. How they do it – they defecate in the open.’ So, that is also an issue”, The Shaukeens actor added.

Akshay also stated that the romantic drama will educate the audience in the rural parts. “It will put a sense into them in a very commercial way – a manner in which they can understand much more”, the Rustom star said.
