An unnamed source commenting on Rahul Sankrityan’s remarks and the online reaction
“During the social media era, filmmakers need to be careful about how they express their views. Rahul may have simply been talking about how modern life has changed traditional habits rather than seriously suggesting that electricity should be abandoned. However, his choice of words has given social media users enough material to troll him.”
