Harshvardhan Kapoor had this to say about the failure of his debut film, Mirzya:

“whenever you try and build a new path by not doing the conventional thing, people will take time to see and recognise it, first they will bring u down then they will eventually buy you drinks, but I only drink the best whisky so be ready that time will come, once an artist always an artist.”

“As for Om Puri’s comments, the less said the better. It is not only shocking but truly disgusting. In future people like him should not be given media time as obviously they haven’t a clue about what they are saying. Propagating suicide bombing and seditious thoughts….all I can say is if you so believe in it then practice what you preach. Don’t provoke the youth wrongly.

Be it Aamir Khan or Salman Khan or Om Puri and a host of other Bollywood celebs, they keep making callous statements, get their cheap publicity for free and then merely get away with a “sorry”. Is it fair?” she said.
