Actor Siddharth is at it again. The actor who has been openly critical of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP government, has yet again taken a sarcastic dig at Modi's press meet on Friday. Modi, who held his first press conference in five years, is being widely trolled for the silence—he did not take a single question. It was party chief Amit Shah who answered the questions from reporters.
In a reply to a twitter user who said he was waiting for Siddharth's take on the press conference, the actor said: “The badmash child has to speak for himself. His gangster bully parent can't hijack the entire meeting. (sic)”. Though Siddharth doesn't take names, the implications are clear.
Recently, Siddharth had posted a cryptic tweet, which seems to be a jibe aimed at Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar after his free-wheeling interview with Prime Minister Narendra Modi was aired. “#akshaykumar is very underrated as a villain,” he wrote.
Siddharth is known to speak his mind, and make his stance clear on political and social issues. He had kicked up a storm for his sarcastic comments on the trailer of Narendra Modi's biopic, PM Narendra Modi. Siddharth had tweeted the film's trailer doesn't show how Modi won India's independence by 'single-handedly wiping out the British empire. Siddharth who has acted in Tamil, Malayalam and Telugu films, and also played a key role in Bollywood hit Rang De Basanti, had also criticised the Narendra Modi government for 'politicising' the Pulwama attacks.
