Sanjay Leela Bhansali was in the news and every powerful body in the country seemed to have made up their mind to not allow the director to release his labor of love. The editor was not willing to take the risk and I assured that I will not be responsible. The point is how does one raise issues close to your head and heart without making reference to the culprits? The point also is that are you really helping/ harming those you stick your neck out for?  There are no answers because every problem is a new challenge and one has to ride the terrain and seek solutions.

To me the issue was not whether the film is finally going to be titled Padmavati or Padmavat but what the filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali and his cast Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh were going through. Were they getting wounded or deriving strength in their silence?
