TIL Desk Bollywood/ Megastar Amitabh Bachchan says he feels embarrassed when he goes abroad and people there call India, the land of rapes. The actor, who is essaying the role of a lawyer in his latest release “Pink,” said Indians should work together to make the country a first world nation.
“It’s very embarrassing when we visit abroad and people there say, ‘You are from India, the land of rapes’. I want that to go. I don’t like it when people call us a third world country or developing country. “We all must work to make India a first world nation, a developed country,” Bachchan said at a press conference of the film.
The “Piku” star said each part of the country should be safe for women. “We should not say that Mumbai is safer than Delhi or vice versa. We are a country and women should be safe in every part. If an incident occurs in Delhi the whole nation feels bad and gets worried. The issue is about the whole nation or universal.” Produced by Shoojit Sircar and directed by Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury, “Pink” also stars Taapsee Pannu, Kriti Kulhari, Angad Bedi, Andrea Tariang and Piyush Mishra.
