On October 19 we saw pictures of the leading celebs of Hindi Cinema along with PM Narendra Modi. Shah Rukh Khan, Sonam Kapoor, Aamir Khan, Ekta Kapoor, Karan Johar, and many others were invited to New Delhi to participate in the Change Within Meet, also an initiative to mark Mahatma Gandhi’s 150th birth anniversary. But looks like all did not go down well with the film fraternity down south. It was observed that none of the celebs from South Indian Cinema were invited for this event and that has left some of them upset. Actress-politician Khushbu has a raised a question on why the actors and actresses from South Indian Cinema were neglected. Ram Charan's Wife Upasana Felt South Film Industry Was Completely Neglected At PM Narendra Modi's Change Within Event.
Veteran actress Khushbu took to Twitter and wrote, “With al due respects to all those who met our H’ble PM @narendramodi ji last eve on behalf of Indian cinema, would like to remind @PMOIndia that Hindi films alone do not represent or contribute to the economy of this country. South Indian cinema is the largest contributor.” She also mentioned, “South Indian cinema represents our country globally. The best of talent comes from south india. The biggest superstars come from south india. India’s best actors belong to south india. Best technicians are South Indian. So why was South industry not invited? Why this inequality?” Shah Rukh Khan, Jacqueline Fernandez and Other Bollywood Celebs Post Pictures With PM Narendra Modi from the Change Within Event (View Pics).

PM Narendra Modi is yet to respond to the questions being raised by the South Indian Cinema celebs.
