Kareena Kapoor Khan: “Returning an award would not solve any problem”

Kareena Kapoor Khan seems to be unhappy with the ‘Award Wapsi’ trend set up by the authors, filmmakers, artists and scientists over what they call ‘growing intolerance’ in the country, as she advised them to address issues bothering them instead of returning their honours.

“Returning an award would not solve any problem. We should learn to address the issue (of intolerance) rather than getting it upon ourselves. It is not a personal issue, it is the issue of entire nation,” Kapoor Khan told Absolute India.

The ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ (2015) actress, refusing to join the league of people returning their awards, appreciated the youths’ stand on different issues in the country. “I haven’t returned any awards. But whatever is going on (in the country), the retaliation of youths (over different issues) that is what really inspired me,” the 35-year-old said when asked to comment on filmmakers returning awards to protest alleged ‘rising intolerance’ under the present Government.
