Kumar Sanu, a legendary playback singer in Bollywood, recently voiced his disappointment over the lack of vocal support from Bollywood celebrities regarding the ongoing controversy surrounding the Hema Committee report. The report has sparked widespread discussions on social media and in the news, particularly after several women from the Malayalam film industry came forward to share their experiences of abuse and exploitation at the hands of influential figures. These revelations have shocked the public, as many big names in the industry are now being called out for their misconduct. However, Sanu noted that, in contrast to the Malayalam industry, Bollywood stars have remained conspicuously silent on the matter.

The Hema Committee report has brought to light the darker side of the entertainment industry, where women have often faced harassment, discrimination, and abuse. Many victims have courageously come forward, sharing their traumatic experiences in hopes of bringing about change and holding perpetrators accountable. However, while some industries have seen a wave of support from their stars, Bollywood’s leading figures have largely remained quiet. This silence is particularly troubling, considering the similar revelations that surfaced during Bollywood’s #MeToo movement, when numerous women spoke up about their experiences. Unfortunately, as actor Tannishtha Chatterjee recently pointed out in an interview with News 18 Show Sha, the #MeToo movement in Bollywood eventually fizzled out, with many accused individuals continuing to work without facing significant consequences.
Kumar Sanu has now added his voice to those expressing frustration over Bollywood’s reluctance to speak out. In a recent interview with Zee News, he openly criticized Bollywood celebrities for being “darpok” (cowardly). Sanu argued that many of these stars are afraid to speak up about the injustices within the industry, fearing that doing so might jeopardize their careers or future opportunities. He lamented the fact that despite being in a position of influence, these stars are unwilling to address the wrongs happening around them, choosing instead to stay silent.

Sanu further explained that this fear of repercussions prevents people from speaking the truth, which he believes is crucial for bringing about meaningful change. “If you don’t speak up about the truth, it will take a bad turn,” Sanu emphasized. In his opinion, remaining silent in the face of injustice allows wrongdoings to continue unchecked and perpetuates the toxic culture that has plagued the industry for years.
Known for his outspoken nature, Kumar Sanu has never shied away from expressing his opinions, regardless of the consequences. He is widely respected for his honesty and for not being afraid to call out issues within the industry, even if it means risking relationships or opportunities. Sanu recently reflected on his own career, sharing that while many in the industry love and respect him, they still do not offer him work. His comments highlight the challenges faced by those who dare to speak out, as the industry often punishes individuals who refuse to stay silent on critical issues.
Kumar Sanu’s criticism of Bollywood celebrities underscores the need for more voices of influence to take a stand against the wrongdoings in the entertainment industry. As the Hema Committee report continues to make waves, many are hoping that Bollywood stars will eventually find the courage to speak out in support of the victims and to push for a safer and more transparent working environment for everyone in the industry. For now, however, the silence from Bollywood’s biggest names remains deafening, as calls for accountability and change grow louder with each passing day.
