It's our duty to stand up National Anthem, says Randeep Hooda

December 1, 2016

Mumbai, Dec 1: Bollywood actor Randeep Hooda says it is one's duty to stand up when the National Anthem is being played and not doing so would be disrespectful.

In a bid to "instill committed patriotism and nationalism", the Supreme Court had yesterday ordered cinema halls across the nation to play the National Anthem before screening of a movie and the audience must stand and show respect.

When asked about it, Randeep told reporters, "If they play the National Anthem, it is your duty to stand up and rise to it. I don't see any problem. I have never ever had the feeling that I can sit and relax when my country's National Anthem is being played, I don't think that is in good taste neither it is respectful."

The actor was speaking last night at the 'Brand Vision Summit', where he bagged an award.

Randeep has had a good year in terms of diverse movies ranging from "Sarbjit", "Sultan", "Do Lafzo Ki Kahani" and "Laal Ishq".

The actor says while it would be good if he gets an award for his work, not getting one wouldn't take anything away from his hard work.

"You can never work only for awards. You work for the moment, for the film and who recognises it or doesn't, you have no control on that. I certainly have no control on that or never had. If I get, then good, if not, my work won't become any less," he said.

Randeep will be next seen in "Battle of Saragarhi", to be directed by Rajkumar Santoshi.

Kangana Ranaut attacks ‘Tejasvi Surya’, accuses him of hooliganism mistaking him for Tejashwi Yadav

News Network

New Delhi, May 5: Actor-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut intended to target an opposition leader but mistakenly ended up attacking her BJP colleague instead.

A similarity in names - Tejashwi and Tejasvi - was behind Ms Ranaut's fumble. "There's a party of spoilt princes... whether it's Rahul Gandhi who wants to grow potatoes on the Moon, or Tejasvi Surya who does hooliganism and eats fish," she had said.

RJD leader and former Bihar deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav was supposed to be the original target of her diatribe as one of his videos where he was seen eating fish became a major flashpoint between the BJP and the opposition recently.

Tejasvi Surya, incorrectly referred to by Ms Ranaut during an election rally yesterday, is BJP's Lok Sabha candidate from Bengaluru South constituency in Karnataka.

Meanwhile, Mr Yadav has responded to a clip of Kangana Ranaut's statement. "Ye mohtarma kaun hai?" (Who is this lady?), he posted on X.

Kangana Ranaut has been verbally bashing the Congress party since the BJP fielded her as their Lok Sabha candidate from Himachal Pradesh's Mandi. Congress leaders Vikramaditya Singh - her opponent in Mandi - and Rahul Gandhi have been the main targets on her dartboard.

While addressing a public rally in the Sundernagar area of Mandi Parliamentary Constituency yesterday, Ms Ranaut took a jibe at Mr Singh and Mr Gandhi over dynasty politics and said that both of them have a magic stick for development and talk only about non-practical things.

The Congress hit back saying the 37-year-old actor should first check the facts about her party leaders and speak about dynastic politics. National Media Coordinator for the Congress, Amrit Kaur, also questioned her qualifications on which she got a BJP ticket from Mandi.

The Mandi Lok Sabha constituency will go to polls on June 1, in the seventh phase of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
