Ajay Devgan tweets that Hindi is the national language of India has created controversy.
Recently South Indian films have been enjoying great success in North India. This is evidenced by the collections of films like Bahubali, KGF and Pushpa. But it is said that Hindi films like that do not run in South India. In this context, after the huge success of KGF-2, actor Kichha Sudeep spoke about PAN-Indian films at an event. He said many things in it, "Hindi is no longer a national language."
Bollywood actor and actress Kajol's husband Ajay Devgan responded to Sudeep's comment on Twitter. In a tweet in Hindi, he said, “If Hindi is not our national language, why is Sudeep releasing his films dubbed in Hindi. Hindi is our mother tongue, our national language, it will always be. Jana Kana Mana. ” That raised the question. After this, Sudeep and Ajay Devgan took turns tweeting their comments.
In this context, Ajay Devgan's comment has been met with criticism in South India. Many have been sharing their views in support of Sudeep and criticizing Ajay Devgan. Actress Divya Spandana, who hails from Karnataka and is famous for her performances in Tamil and Kannada cinemas, tweeted in response to a question from Ajay Devgan. Ajay Devgan shared a tweet in which he said, “No - Hindi is not our national language. Your ignorance is amazing. It is gratifying that films like KGF, Pushpa and RRR have been successful in Hindi speaking states. Language has never been a barrier to art forms. Enjoy our pictures as much as we enjoy your pictures. ” This tweet is now going viral on the internet.
A few weeks ago, it was controversial for Union Minister Amit Shah to say that "Hindi is India's lingua franca". Later, musician AR Rahman's comment that "Tamil is the connecting language of India" and the Tamil language painting he shared went viral.
