Bollywood actress and Kajol’s younger sister Tanisha Mukherjee is known for her outspoken opinions and speaking openly on social issues. Recently, during a public conversation and interview, Tanisha Mukherjee has revealed a very shocking and disturbing incident of her life. Tanisha narrated how while participating in a social and peaceful protest, she became a direct victim of the blind communal hatred of the so-called educated and ‘elite’ section of the society. Tanisha says that the society can understand when an illiterate person shows bigotry, but when the most prosperous, English-educated and affluent section of the society is filled with hatred without any logic, then that situation is extremely scary and disappointing. After this revelation of the actress, a new debate has started on social media and in the corridors of Bollywood regarding the ideological intolerance growing in the modern society.
Recalling that incident in detail, Tanisha Mukherjee said that she had come to be a part of the peaceful demonstration to show her solidarity on an important issue of the society and to become the voice of the common citizens. There a very elite looking woman, wearing designer clothes and speaking fluent English came to him. As soon as the woman saw Tanisha, her facial expression changed completely. Without any reason or conversation, he told Tanisha in a very aggressive tone, “You leave here immediately, we don’t need you here.” When Tanisha was surprised and asked her the reason for saying so, the woman directly started talking about religion and communal divide and started targeting them by seeing them through the prism of Hindu-Muslim. Tanisha was completely stunned to see that woman’s behavior and the hatred filled in her eyes.
Sharing her feelings in the interview, Tanisha said that that scene is stuck in her mind forever. Tanisha said that we often assume that illiteracy and poverty give rise to hatred or division, but when she saw a woman from the highest class of the society exhibiting such a petty mentality, she was heartbroken. Tanisha said that the woman had all the comforts of life, excellent education and wealth, but her heart and mind were filled with only poison for humans. Tanisha regretted that in today’s times, some people have become so narrow-minded that instead of looking at a person’s intentions, his goodness or his work, they start passing judgments just by looking at his name and religion. This kind of blind hatred is a serious alarm bell for any civilized society.
Citing her family and cultural background, Tanisha Mukherjee said that she comes from a family where secularism and humanity have always been kept supreme. His mother Tanuja and family have taught him to respect people of every religion, caste and class. Tanisha said that the real beauty of India lies in its diversity, mutual brotherhood and Ganga-Jamuni culture. When people forget that beauty and start harboring ill will towards each other under the influence of some political or hate agenda, it hurts the soul of the country. She said that as an artist and citizen, she will never bow down to the forces that divide the society and will always raise her voice in favor of love, unity and peace.
After this candid statement of Tanisha Mukherjee came out, internet users and her fans have openly supported her. Many people commented and wrote that Tanisha has pointed the finger at the bitter reality of the society which is often hidden behind sophistication and speaking English. People believe that the increasing polarization language on social media has now started influencing the behavior of the educated population in real life also. This bold statement by Tanisha has once again proved that when celebrities use their platform to expose the dark corners of the society, it gives the society a much-needed opportunity to introspect.
