In last few months, several Bollywood movies have faced boycott trends and their box office performances have been hampered because of this reason. While sometimes, these boycott demands arise because of a genuine flaw in the content but most of the times, the reason behind these trends are immature and politically motivated. In a recent media interaction, actrees Rakul Preet Singh talked about this issue and shared how it affects the whole process of filmmaking.

While talking to The Indian Express, Rakul shared that films should not be boycotted just on the basis of assumptions. She stated, "You should boycott something that affects a certain section of society, but don’t pre-empt and start that conversation because it affects the entire chain of filmmaking, not just the actors. The industry suffers, the number of films being made suffers. So it’s a chain that is followed. Employment goes down. At a time when the government is doing its best to better the economy, we should not advocate these things.”

The actress then went on to talk about the poor state that Hindi cinema is in right now. Rakul said, "We have been going through really difficult times. People are still trying to figure out their life. We were the blessed ones to have homes and didn’t have to think about food in the past two years, but a large section of the population was not having an easy time. So possibly cinema is not their first source of entertainment right now. They need to secure their future. Ab har hafte film aa rahi hai toh har hafte toh nahi dekh payenge na."
