<p>Soraya Shahidy carefully lays a stencil on Nargis Merzayi`s arm before inking the latest tattoo in her salon in Afghanistan`s capital Kabul.<br />
<br />
A normal routine in studios around the world, Shahidy`s artwork in the conservative country breaks a tattoo taboo: she believes she is the first female tattoo artist in a country where some religious scholars say tattoos are forbidden under Islam.<br />
<br />
"I could have performed this profession abroad but I wanted to do it in Afghanistan because there are no female tattoo artists in the country," she told Reuters. "I believe it`s not only men who can apply tattoos. Women can do it too."<br />
<br />
Shahidy, 27, who trained in Turkey and Iran, insists her artwork is legitimate in Islam. "Some mullahs say tattoos are forbidden, but there are other mullahs who say the opposite," she said, adding that Kabul is seeing a small but growing demand from young people for tattoos.<br />
<br />
"Most clients want tattoos on their wrists, arms, neck and legs... Girls are more interested in delicate tattoo designs such as flowers, butterflies and dragonflies, or the names of people they love. But some boys choose designs that are extravagant to me."<br />
<br />
One client, she said, wanted a tattoo of a tombstone inscribed "volunteer of death". Shahidy`s current client, Merzayi, was long interested in getting a tattoo and finally decided to go ahead with a design on the inside of her forearm.<br />
<br />
"My tattoo is in Hindi handwriting and it means courage," she said. Like many in the country, Shahidy thinks about the possibility of a return to power by the Taliban, who are in peace talks with the Afghan government to end two decades of war. But she expressed confidence the country has changed dramatically since the hardline Islamists were ousted in 2001.<br />
<br />
"We are not the people who can easily lose the achievements we have gained over the recent years," she said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>‘Dil Bechara’ actor Sanjana Sanghi is set to play lead opposite Aditya Roy Kapur. The film is titled ‘Om The Battle Within’ will be directed by Kapil Verma.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Sanjana Sanghi had made her Bollywood debut in ‘Dil Bechara’ opposite late actor Sushant Singh Rajput.&nbsp;</p>

<p>‘Om The Battle Within’ is produced by Zee Studios, Ahmed Khan and Shaira Khan. The film will be shot in India and abroad, with shooting expected to end by March next year.&nbsp;</p>

<p>On the film, Ahmed Khan says, “In her debut film, Sanjana handled her role with great maturity and in OM, the character what she plays is of a young girl who handles great responsibilities and she is perfectly suited for it.”</p>

<p>Meanwhile, Sanjana said, “Getting to delve into the action genre so early on, is something I view as an absolute honour and have immense gratitude for to my producers, Ahmed Khan, Zee Studios and my director Kapil for the potential they have seen in me being able to pull of such a unique part in our film. After exploring many scripts and possibilities for a while, Om felt just right since it was the spectrum jump I was looking for in terms of throwing myself into an entirely unchartered territory of a big commercial actioner being executed in a never-seen-before way that is going to present me with new and exciting challenges.”</p>

<p>She added, “My character Kavya is a girl I know each of us young girls in India aspires to be. She is confident, extremely hard working and sharp, empathetic, brave and a crucial tenet of our film. She’s nothing like we’ve ever seen before on celluloid. I’m so excited to bring her to life, and I know I’m going to learn so much from her I’m doing tons of action in the film, and various kinds of training and prep for the same is ongoing. It’s testing and pushing me both physically and mentally, but is so thrilling! Getting to work with Adi is the best part of it all, he’s working so hard for the film and is going to shine.”</p>

<p>Two young women fill the screen, reclining on a bed, talking about their hope of having children. They are protagonists in a new Nigerian film called 'Ife'&nbsp;depicting their love story. The topic is controversial in Nigeria, where same-sex relationships are theoretically punishable by up to 14 years in prison.<br />
<br />
Producer Pamela Adie said Ife&nbsp;- which means love in the Yoruba language widely spoken in southwest Nigeria - would be released online to avoid any possible move by censors to ban it.<br />
<br />
"I really feel that the censors board is playing a big part in stopping these kinds of stories from coming to the big screen... and it is just really stifling creativity," said Adie, who declined to provide a release date.</p>

<p>The National Film and Video Censors Board (NFVCB) did not respond to requests for comment. A trailer released online in July shows the women discussing their love and, as one character phrased it, the fear of being forced to choose between your family and happiness.<br />
<br />
"The role of film is not to say 'this is right, or not'. I think that the role of film, and a filmmaker, is to portray reality as it is," said Adie.<br />
<br />
Nobody has yet been convicted under the law banning same-sex relationships, which came into effect in 2014. But the case of 47 men charged last year with public displays of affection is being closely watched.Many people in Nigeria are socially conservative and some religious groups brand same-sex relationships as a corrupting Western import.<br />
<br />
Gay rights activists say the law has been used to extort bribes in exchange for not pursuing charges.Despite the fear that the law engenders, Uzoamaka Aniunoh - one of the actors - said 'Ife'&nbsp;offers a glimpse into the everyday lives of people in same-sex relationships. "I don`t feel like it is bold. I feel like it is ordinary," she said.</p>

<p>Canadian-American actor Ryan Reynolds has sent a message for partying Canadian teens who aren`t practising social distancing: 'Don't kill anyone, especially not his mom'. According to a news agency, John Horgan, the Premier of British Columbia, Canada, asked B.C. natives Reynolds and Seth Rogen to help spread the message to teenagers that partying is not safe for them or those around them during the pandemic.<br />
<br />
Reynolds, who was born in Vancouver, British Columbia, responded to Horgan's call-to-action with a humorous voice message that also points out the potentially fatal outcomes of the irresponsible behaviour amid COVID outbreak.</p>

<p>The 34-year-old actor said, "Young folks in B.C., they're partying, which is, of course, dangerous. They probably don't know that thousands of people are not only getting sick from coronavirus, they're also dying from it, too. And, of course, it's terrible that it affects our most vulnerable."<br />

But here`s the thing, I hope that young people in B.C. don't kill my mom or David Suzuki -- or each other.<br />
<br />
Like, let`s not kill anyone, I think that`s reasonable."Reynolds ended the message with some more humour, even shouting out his wife Blake Lively[s time on the show 'Gossip Girl'. "I love parties. My favourite thing to do is sit alone in my room with a glass of gin and the first 32 seasons of Gossip Girl, and that`s a party. I threw my shoulder out the last time I did that," said Reynolds.</p>

Chris Evans, Lily James spark romance rumours after being spotted together

<p>Bollywood star Madhuri Dixit shared a special bond with ace choreographer Saroj Khan. The veteran choreographer was instrumental in directing some of Madhuri's most iconic songs of the 1990s. From her first smash hit 'Ek Do Teen' to 'Dhak Dhak Karne Laga', Madhuri Dixit and Saroj Khan's collaborations were always the high points of any film.<br />
<br />
On Friday, as Khan breathed her last, the actress termed the loss as 'devastating'.</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/remembering-masterji-saroj-khan-from-dhak-dhak-to-ek-do-teen-her-iconic-bollywood-songs-310340">Also see: Remembering Masterji Saroj Khan: From Dhak Dhak to Ek Do Teen, her iconic Bollywood songs</a></strong><br />
<br />
Madhuri Dixit took to Twitter to mourn the loss of her guru and friend Saroj Khan and wrote, "I'm devastated by the loss of my friend and guru, Saroj Khan. Will always be grateful for her work in helping me reach my full potential in dance. The world has lost an amazingly talented person. I will miss you My sincere condolences to the family. #RIPSarojji"</p>

<p>Incidentally, Saroj Khan's last choreographed number also featured Madhuri Dixit. The duo worked together in Abhishek Verman's 'Kalank' where Khan choreographed Dixit in the song 'Tabah Ho Gaye'.</p>

<p>In 2019 IIFA awards, the actress had also honoured the veteran choreographer with the Lifetime achievement award and performed to a medley of the duo's hit number as a tribute to Khan.</p>

<p>Here's a glimpse of that performance.</p>

Madhuri Dixit on Saroj Khan's death: Devastated by the loss of my friend and guru

<p>Filmmaker Karan Johar has been brutally trolled online ever since Sushant Singh Rajput died by suicide on June 14. Angry fans have lashed out at the filmmaker and accused him of nepotism that they feel has led to Rajput's untimely death.&nbsp; The filmmaker has since then been quiet on social media.<br />
<br />
Now, according to the latest media reports, Johar has tendered his resignation from the board of MAMI Mumbai Film Festival. The director has reportedly sent an email to festival director Smriti Kiran stated he would like to resign.<br />
<br />
Reports also state that Johar is unhappy with the lack of support he has got from the film industry in these times.<br />
<br />
The festival's chairperson Deepika Padukone tried to talk Johar out of resigning but it seems that he did not change his decision. MAMI is considered one of the prestigious film festivals of the country and has Zoya Akhtar, Kabir Khan, Siddharth Roy Kapur, Vikramaditya Motwane and Rohan Sippy as a part of the board.</p>

<p>With theatres around the world either running on half capacity or being shut because of the novel coronavirus pandemic, OTT platforms are filling this gap and how. Soon-to-release film that stars Indian actor Manoj Bajpayee in and as Bhonsle, pegs the actor as a retired Marathi cop who has been forced to retire as he faces a major illness.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Speaking to WION in an exclusive conversation, actor Manoj Bajpayee and film producer Sandeep Kapoor speak about ‘Bhonsle’, opting for a digital release, Manoj’s passion to do what no creative person has done before and much more.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>WION: Who is Bhonsle?</strong></p>

<p><strong>Manoj:</strong> He is a 64-years-old&nbsp;who doesn't want to retire because he doesn't have a life after retirement. Bhonsle is scared of going back to his chawl and spending time there. He is averse to social interactions, doesn't like to meet people or talk to them. He is somebody who is purposeless after retirement and also he is going through a major illness. In the film, all of this is getting very difficult for him to deal with and because of his neighbour who comes from Bihar, he gets a purpose in life. This is about that man who is purposeless, ill, retired,&nbsp;lonely and what gives him a purpose in life. This is the character and partly the film.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>WION: How was the idea of ‘us vs them’ dealt with in the film’s context as it has the backdrop of local Marathis wanting migrants to go back to their native?</strong></p>

<p><strong>Sandeep:</strong> For that you have to watch the film as the issue is local but the subject is global because it's not just about UP, Bihar or Maharashtra. You have similar problems all over the world.</p>

<p><strong>Manoj:</strong> This film happens between Ganpati coming in and lasts till Ganpati Visarjan. This film is about how the life of a cop changes between these 10 days -- all the highs and lows he goes through. It's a complete life he lives through that period of time. Also, the backdrop of the film is local vs migrant which is at its peak especially during Ganpati in the chawl. The film is about how he deals with it. Clash between local and migrant is a global issue. Be it US, France, Germany, Britain -- you name a country and it's there. It's an issue which is dealt very locally in this film but since it's happening all over the world, it has a universal appeal.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>WION: Theatre to digital. How difficult/ easy was that decision&nbsp;for the film’s release?</strong></p>

<p><strong>Sandeep: </strong>We were wanting to complete this film in 2018 and then took it to the international circuit to film festivals. We did it for almost one year. In 2020, we were planning to release in Feb/March but then lockdown and Corona happened and it got delayed. We are now very happy to bring it to digital because on the same day on 26th June, we will have a world premiere. As a producer, however much money I spend, I would not have been able to get a worldwide release on the same day in theatres. OTT is a good platform but having said that, films like ‘Gulabo Sitabo’ and others are also releasing on OTT, so OTT has its own audience.</p>

<p><strong>WION: As a producer how profitable is going digital first?</strong></p>

<p><strong>Sandeep:</strong> With these kinds of films, it takes time to recover the money but the kind of credibility as a producer you get be it my last film ‘Anarkali of Arra’ which was released in theatres, I got my money. Here also, the OTT has also taken TV rights.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>WION: Having done a variety of roles in your career, are you now content as an actor?&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p><strong>Manoj:</strong> No, never. I think I am far from that. During lockdown, after a few days only, I started getting the itch of getting back to the set and start doing what I was supposed to. I love acting. I am fascinated by this craft. I don't think there is any other job that is as interesting and exciting than acting. It's an ongoing learning that happens when you are dealing with the craft. It's so satisfying to see the character that you have prepared for. It's a different kind of joy. Somebody has said it right, it's like delivering a healthy baby. You feel all the pain that a mother goes through but when she sees the baby, that joy, that bliss is what an actor feels. I especially feel that.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>WION: What's next?</strong></p>

<p><strong>Manoj:</strong> I would definitely like to do something that people have never thought of. I want something really out of the box, something no creative person has thought of. When Bhiku Mhatre happened, the industry never thought that this kind of a character would ever be played. They could have never imagined that kind of a film, character, performance. I'd like to do a film like that or ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’,&nbsp;‘Rajneeti’ or&nbsp;‘Aligarh’. Surprising yourself and in turn surprising the audience and industry, that's a fantastic feeling. I am looking for that kind of a film, that kind of character. In Hollywood you have Brando’s role in ‘Godfather’, De Niro’s role in ‘Taxi Driver’, Heath Ledger in ‘Batman’ or ‘Joker’ for that matter -- a character or performance which defines our time that we are living in.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>WION: How do you feel about nepotism in&nbsp;Bollywood and if the industry is fair to 'outsiders'?</strong></p>

<p><strong>Manoj:</strong>&nbsp;Let me start with this, the world is not fair. I have been saying this since 20 years that as an industry we celebrate mediocrity. Forget about industry, as a nation we celebrate mediocrity. Something is lacking somewhere -- in our thought process, our value system. When we see talent, we immediately want to ignore or push it away. This is the value system of ours which is so deplorable.</p>

<p>I have said it before, that this industry has wasted talent; so much that in any other country those talents who have not been given their due here, would have been known as the best actors of the world. But we don't care. Firstly, if you don't have talent then you have to be extremely lucky to get by. This is the system I am talking about.&nbsp;I am not blaming anyone. I am a part of this industry. This is why I said in my past interviews that we have to look inward and rectify that. Rectify, or you will keep getting flak for it, cursed for it and will keep on losing respect of the common people.</p>

<p>I was asking somebody recently to tell me when these words started existing in our industry -- insider, outsider? Only 20 years back. The evidence is there, it's just that we ignore it. Now when people are getting angry, you are saying that their anger is unnecessary. You avoided it, you ignored it. Somewhere there anger means they are asking questions and we have to answer those questions as an industry. That system needs to be rectified. Who will rectify it? Me, as an established actor, as an experienced actor. Others who are well positioned,&nbsp;are privileged. You can improve it by spotting talents, encouraging talent, by making their struggle shorter and admiring and respecting them. That's all it takes to make it a healthy and democratic industry. That's all it takes.</p>

WION: Who is Bhonsle? Manoj: He is a 64-years-old who doesn't want to retire because he doesn't have a life after retirement. Bhonsle is scared of going back to his chawl and spending time there. He is averse to social interactions, doesn't like to meet people or talk to them. He is somebody who is purposeless after retirement and also he is going through a major illness. In the film, all of this is getting very difficult for him to deal with and because of his neighbour who comes from Bihar, he gets a purpose in life. This is about that man who is purposeless, ill, retired, lonely and what gives him a purpose in life. This is the character and partly the film. WION: How was the idea of ‘us vs them’ dealt with in the film’s context as it has the backdrop of local Marathis wanting migrants to go back to their native? Sandeep: For that you have to watch the film as the issue is local but the subject is global because it's not just about UP, Bihar or Maharashtra. You have similar problems all over the world. Manoj: This film happens between Ganpati coming in and lasts till Ganpati Visarjan. This film is about how the life of a cop changes between these 10 days -- all the highs and lows he goes through. It's a complete life he lives through that period of time. Also, the backdrop of the film is local vs migrant which is at its peak especially during Ganpati in the chawl. The film is about how he deals with it. Clash between local and migrant is a global issue. Be it US, France, Germany, Britain -- you name a country and it's there. It's an issue which is dealt very locally in this film but since it's happening all over the world, it has a universal appeal. Watch trailer: Bhonsle WION: Theatre to digital. How difficult/ easy was that decision for the film’s release? Sandeep: We were wanting to complete this film in 2018 and then took it to the international circuit to film festivals. We did it for almost one year. In 2020, we were planning to release in Feb/March but then lockdown and Corona happened and it got delayed. We are now very happy to bring it to digital because on the same day on 26th June, we will have a world premiere. As a producer, however much money I spend, I would not have been able to get a worldwide release on the same day in theatres. OTT is a good platform but having said that, films like ‘Gulabo Sitabo’ and others are also releasing on OTT, so OTT has its own audience. WION: As a producer how profitable is going digital first? Sandeep: With these kinds of films, it takes time to recover the money but the kind of credibility as a producer you get be it my last film ‘Anarkali of Arra’ which was released in theatres, I got my money. Here also, the OTT has also taken TV rights. WION: Having done a variety of roles in your career, are you now content as an actor? Manoj: No, never. I think I am far from that. During lockdown, after a few days only, I started getting the itch of getting back to the set and start doing what I was supposed to. I love acting. I am fascinated by this craft. I don't think there is any other job that is as interesting and exciting than acting. It's an ongoing learning that happens when you are dealing with the craft. It's so satisfying to see the character that you have prepared for. It's a different kind of joy. Somebody has said it right, it's like delivering a healthy baby. You feel all the pain that a mother goes through but when she sees the baby, that joy, that bliss is what an actor feels. I especially feel that. WION: What's next? Manoj: I would definitely like to do something that people have never thought of. I want something really out of the box, something no creative person has thought of. When Bhiku Mhatre happened, the industry never thought that this kind of a character would ever be played. They could have never imagined that kind of a film, character, performance. I'd like to do a film like that or ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’, ‘Rajneeti’ or ‘Aligarh’. Surprising yourself and in turn surprising the audience and industry, that's a fantastic feeling. I am looking for that kind of a film, that kind of character. In Hollywood you have Brando’s role in ‘Godfather’, De Niro’s role in ‘Taxi Driver’, Heath Ledger in ‘Batman’ or ‘Joker’ for that matter -- a character or performance which defines our time that we are living in. @BajpayeeManoj We would like to extend our warm wishes to the team of #Gangsofwasseypur for outstanding eight years in the industry. pic.twitter.com/B4S6lSj7nL — IFFSA Toronto (@IFFSAToronto) June 24, 2020 × WION: How do you feel about nepotism in Bollywood and if the industry is fair to 'outsiders'? Manoj: Let me start with this, the world is not fair. I have been saying this since 20 years that as an industry we celebrate mediocrity. Forget about industry, as a nation we celebrate mediocrity. Something is lacking somewhere -- in our thought process, our value system. When we see talent, we immediately want to ignore or push it away. This is the value system of ours which is so deplorable. I have said it before, that this industry has wasted talent; so much that in any other country those talents who have not been given their due here, would have been known as the best actors of the world. But we don't care. Firstly, if you don't have talent then you have to be extremely lucky to get by. This is the system I am talking about. I am not blaming anyone. I am a part of this industry. This is why I said in my past interviews that we have to look inward and rectify that. Rectify, or you will keep getting flak for it, cursed for it and will keep on losing respect of the common people. I was asking somebody recently to tell me when these words started existing in our industry -- insider, outsider? Only 20 years back. The evidence is there, it's just that we ignore it. Now when people are getting angry, you are saying that their anger is unnecessary. You avoided it, you ignored it. Somewhere there anger means they are asking questions and we have to answer those questions as an industry. That system needs to be rectified. Who will rectify it? Me, as an established actor, as an experienced actor. Others who are well positioned, are privileged. You can improve it by spotting talents, encouraging talent, by making their struggle shorter and admiring and respecting them. That's all it takes to make it a healthy and democratic industry. That's all it takes. Watch the full interview with Manoj Bajpayee here:

There are hardly a few actors who match up to the calibre and zest of Indian actor Manoj Bajpayee who has given us sheer gems over the course of his long career in the entertainment industry but it has not come without a fight admits the star himself. Speaking to WION, as he gears up for the release of his film ‘Bhonsle’, Manoj Bajpayee spoke of the reality of Bollywood industry and the very structure that promotes nepotism. Looking forward to the release of ‘Bhonsle’ in which he plays a retired Mumbai cop, Manoj spoke of the realities of the world that we as participants and audience are privy to.

I have been saying this since 20 years that as an industry we celebrate mediocrity. Forget about industry, as a nation we celebrate mediocrity. Something is lacking somewhere -- in our thought process, our value system. When we see talent, we immediately want to ignore or push it away. This is the value system of ours which is so deplorable,” Manoj stated. Explaining, he said, “I have said it before that this industry has wasted talent; so much that in any other country those talents who have not been given their due here, would have been known as the best actors of the world. But we don't care. Firstly, if you don't have talent then you have to be extremely lucky to get by. This is the system I am talking about. This is the cold value of this industry. I am not blaming anyone. I am a part of this industry. This is why I said in my past interviews that we have to look inward and rectify that. Rectify, or you will keep getting flak for it, cursed for it and will keep on losing respect of the common people.” Not to sound very cynical on the state of affairs in Bollywood and offering a solution, Manoj said, “You can't do it. You cannot afford to ignore talent, crush talent, and must give a chance to someone, no matter if he/she is an outsider or insider. Give a chance to somebody who is less capable.” View this post on Instagram My first full length play IBSEN’s ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE for hindu college when I was 19ys old.looking at the photos remembered my friend and director of the play late desh deepak.be peaceful wherever you are desh!! A post shared by Manoj Bajpayee (@bajpayee.manoj) on Apr 28, 2020 at 10:44pm PDT × Getting anecdotal, Manoj highlighted that “when you are appearing for engineering, you give a chance to someone who's scored the most, right? But in this industry if you are talented, first of all everybody will be jealous of your talent. So if they are jealous of your talent, they will try to push you away. They will try to ignore you. They will try to pull you back.” “Not everybody is Manoj Bajpayee who is going to pick on you if you are going to pull him back. I am a thick-skinned person. The more you abuse me, the more powerful I become in my resolve. I come from a different place, I am the son of a different mother. When I think of how I survived, sometimes, I feel like it's a miracle,” said Manoj who got nostalgic reminiscing his journey that has been nothing short of a miracle for him and a blessing for his fans who hail him as one of the best actors that the industry has seen. From Sardar Khan’s ‘Keh Ke Lenge’ in ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’ that is considered a cult to a homosexual professor Dr Siras in ‘Aligarh’ or gangster Bhiku Mhatre of ‘Satya’, Manoj has not only stunned cinema lovers with his range but also proved that “content is king”.

So much so, if a good film is getting bad box office then forget about the industry as they will anyway criticise you whether you make a good film or a bad film, whether you give a good performance or a bad performance -- the mainstream critics and the trade analysts will jump on it and they will try to prove that it’s a bad film because the box office is not that great. So you can imagine as the state of affairs is evident. I don't have to say anything. You just look around and the evidence is there. I just voice it out and when I voice it out some people get offended and why they get offended is because they know this is the truth. You know what the truth is? It is what is visible from your eyes. That's the truth and the rest is all perception so when I say something loudly, I am only pointing out the things which are evident.” Watch him speak here: But Bollywood wasn’t programmed like this always. “I was asking somebody recently to tell me when these words started existing in our industry -- insider, outsider? Only 20 years back. The evidence is there, it's just that we ignore it. Now when people are getting angry, you are saying that their anger is unnecessary. You avoided it, you ignored it. Somewhere there anger means they are asking questions and we have to answer those questions as an industry. That system needs to be rectified. Who will rectify it?

You can improve it by spotting talents, encouraging talent, by making their struggle shorter and admiring and respecting them. That's all it takes to make it a healthy and democratic industry. That's all it takes,” offering a solution that would help soothe the anger of an audience that is increasingly asking for younger talents to be appreciated and given a scope to perform. When asked if the viewers are also to be blamed for patronising a certain section of actors following a line of nepotism. Manoj said, “We will come to that definitely when the time is right. At this time, the right questions are being asked. I agree there is a lot of chaos and filth but if you want to find the questions you want to find the answers for yourself, then you will realise that the solution lies in us. The audience does that but it’s not their fault. Look at the manner in which good films are exhibited and distributed. They don't get the right number of theatres, they don't get the right number of shows, right timing of shows. When a small film starts picking up, it's taken off. Are you giving that audience a chance to go ahead and mentor those films? But yes you are right, a little bit of a problem also lies on that side. We will come to it. First we will have to rectify ourselves, only then we can ask those questions to the viewers. Otherwise, it will sound whataboutery.” Check out this space for the full interview.
