Vivek Agnihotri's controversial statement

 

Vivek Agnihotri, who gave a blockbuster film like The Kashmir Files, is well known for his outspoken style. Recently, he has given a latest interview to The Curly Tales for the promotion of The Bengal Files. During this, his wife and actress Pallavi Joshi was asked about Vivek's favorite dish, to which she said- I cook Marathi food for him, but he does not eat it. He says Do you cook food of the poor.

 

On this, Vivek puts forward his side and says- Look, I come from Delhi and the way of eating there is different. The extra ghee and masala floating in the food make it special. I am used to eating like this. Now, when Marathi food comes in front, it is of a healthy type, neither too much masala nor ghee. So that's why I used to say that this is the food of the poor.

 

After this statement of Vivek Agnihotri came to the fore, he has been trolled continuously on social media. Especially the people of Maharashtra are criticizing Vivek for making fun of his food.

 

The Bengal Files will be released soon

 

If we look at the release date of Vivek Agnihotri's The Bengal Files, then this movie will be released in theaters on 5 September. However, Kolkata is witnessing strong protests against this, due to which a new controversy has arisen.
