Patriot on Screen, Silent in Real Life: The Double Face of Bollywood

There are some faces in Bollywood who, whenever they play patriotic roles in films, make it seem like they don’t have blood in their veins — but pure love for the nation. But when real-life situations come up where the country truly needs support, these stars either go completely silent or disappear altogether.

One such name is 'Lovely Singh' — the same person who’s always seen reporting from every emergency situation in his films. But in recent real-life events, he has been completely missing from action. During 'Operation Sindoor' — when the entire nation stood united — 'Lovely Singh' stayed quiet. Not even a single tweet, as if he suddenly had Ghajini-style memory loss.

The actor who proudly says lines like "I’ll die for my country" on-screen couldn’t even manage a single social media post when the country needed voices the most. This is the same Lovely Singh who once said, "Once I make a commitment, I don’t even listen to myself." And maybe that’s the problem — perhaps he had already made a secret commitment to Pakistani artists, which is why he stayed completely silent during 'Operation Sindoor'.

When there was gunfire outside his own home, he made sure the whole social media world knew. But when country fought against Pakistani terrorists, he chose complete silence. That’s his real double standard.

And the moment the ceasefire was announced, his hidden love for Pakistan came out. He instantly posted a “Thank God” message — maybe just to please his friends across the border. But then, as usual, Pakistan broke the ceasefire and started firing again. That’s when 'Lovely Singh' realized — “Oops… that didn’t go well” — and quickly deleted his post. His real worry isn’t patriotism. His real fear is losing his Pakistani fanbase. After all, he earns from us — by using our emotions and playing the hero in patriotic scripts — but when it comes to real issues, he goes quiet.

                                            

And it’s not just 'Lovely Singh'. There are many such faces in Bollywood who act patriotic only in front of the camera, but are scared to speak up for the nation in real life.

It’s time we recognize these faces. If you’ve noticed a Bollywood celebrity who didn’t say even one word for the country during something as serious as 'Operation Sindoor', write their name in the comments, so that the next time they make a film about patriotism to emotionally manipulate us, we can give them a reply — by boycotting their films.

From Newsroom to Streets: How Women Journalists Face Rising Sexual Attacks

From bustling newsrooms to conflict zones, women in journalism are increasingly becoming targets of harassment, intimidation and violence, and ironically they are victims not for falsifying stories or flouting ethics, but simply because they are honestly doing their jobs.

Marathi Language Row in Maharashtra: A Divide-and-Rule Plank That Unites Uddhav & Raj, Rattles BJP Amid Fears of Losing Marathi Asmita Votebank

The Marathi language row in Maharashtra has reignited political tensions, communal anxieties, and regional identity issues — all against the backdrop of the upcoming BMC elections and a sensitive linguistic landscape. The row started after a shocking incident in Bhayander, Thane, where a food stall owner was beaten by activists allegedly linked to the Raj Thackeray-led Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) for not speaking in Marathi. A video of the attack went viral, showing the accused, wearing MNS scarves, confronted the vendor and slapped him after he responded in Hindi.
