There are many Bollywood stars who make headlines for their statements more than their work. It also includes the name of famous lyricist Javed Akhtar. He often shares his views which many people do not like and a big controversy arises over it. On Thursday, he openly shared his opinion over the hijab controversy and said, ‘I have never been in favour of Hijab or Burqa.’
Javed Akhtar took to Twitter and wrote, “I have never been in favor of Hijab or Burqa. I still stand by that but at the same time, I have nothing but deep contempt for these mobs of hooligans who are trying to intimidate a small group of girls, and that too unsuccessfully. Is this their idea of “MANLINESS”. What a pity”
This is not the first time that he has raised his opinion, he often shares his views which many people do not like and a big controversy arises over it.
The Hijab protests began in January this year when some students at the Government Girls PU college in Udupi district in Karnataka alleged that they were denied entry into the college for wearing hijab.
