Television actress Hunar Hale has shared her perspective on the ongoing controversy involving comedian Samay Raina and influencer Ranveer Allahbadia. In a thoughtful statement, Hunar highlighted the importance of using art as a responsible medium of expression. She remarked, “Art is a powerful medium of expression and should be used wisely, especially when conveying meaningful messages. If one is uncertain about their message, it is always better to remain silent rather than spark controversy and apologize later.”
Hunar emphasized the responsibility that comes with public influence, particularly in a culturally rich country like India. She urged artists and entertainers to be mindful of their words and actions, ensuring they align with the nation’s traditions and values. Drawing examples from renowned comedians like Krushna Abhishek, Sunil Grover, and Johnny Lever, she pointed out that these artists have mastered the art of entertainment while respecting cultural sensitivities. “Their ability to entertain without crossing boundaries is a testament to their success,” she added.
She further praised global icons like Priyanka Chopra and Aishwarya Rai, noting that despite their international fame, they continue to embrace and showcase Indian heritage with grace and dignity. “Even in Hollywood, they celebrate their culture, setting an inspiring example for others,” Hunar said.
