Prime Minister Of Indian Narendra Modi had held a gathering with various Bollywood stars and released a video as a tribute to the father of our nation. Some of the popular actors who attended the event include Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, Sonam Kapoor, Jacqueline Fernandez, Kangana Ranaut, and several other Bollywood celebrities.
Regarding the event, Veteran actress and political enthusiast Khushbu raised questions to the PMO through her twitter handle about why South Indian film stars were not invited. Kushbu expressed this concern in a series of tweets from her official handle.
She wrote that "Hindi films alone do not contribute to the economy" and that South Indian Industry is a larger contributor. She emphasized that South Indian cinema's pioneers had to be invited and that they deserve the same respect and requested Modi to consider this.
In one of the tweets, she wrote: "South Indian cinema represents our country globally. The best of talent comes from south India. The biggest superstars come from south India. India’s best actors belong to south India. Best technicians are South Indian. So why was South industry not invited? Why this inequality?". Check out the tweet, below:
With al due respects to all those who met our H’ble PM @narendramodi ji last eve on behalf of Indian cinema, would like to remind @PMOIndia that Hindi films alone do not represent or contribute to the economy of this country. South Indian cinema is the largest contributor.. cont.

Would really appreciate if my pioneers and peers who have made South Indian cinema a pride of the country, are invited and shown same respect as I feel they rightly deserve it. Expecting @PMOIndia to look into it.
