Abhinav Shukla criticizes Raghav Juyal's environmental advocacy: “It's all about a reel”

A rift in perspectives unfolded on social media as actor Abhinav Shukla raised questions about the sincerity of fellow entertainer Raghav Juyal's recent outcry against tourist littering in Dehradun. Juyal's impassioned plea, captured in a widely circulated video, garnered acclaim for shining a spotlight on environmental issues.

However, Shukla offered a different narrative, suggesting that Juyal's actions were motivated by a desire for publicity rather than genuine environmental concern. Shukla's critique, encapsulated in the comment, "It's all about a REEL," implied scepticism towards Juyal's advocacy, alleging that his efforts were driven more by the pursuit of attention than a true commitment to environmental preservation.

The ensuing controversy sparked by Shukla's remarks has ignited a flurry of debates among social media users, with opinions sharply divided over the authenticity of Juyal's activism. While some rushed to Juyal's defence, commending his efforts to leverage his platform for environmental awareness, others echoed Shukla's scepticism, questioning the authenticity behind Juyal's impassioned plea. The incident underscores the complexities of navigating social media advocacy and the heightened scrutiny public figures face in their online endeavours.

Shukla's critique, however, goes beyond this single instance, as he also delves into the broader implications of social media activism. By highlighting Juyal's involvement with commercial outdoor adventure organizers and the subsequent pollution of previously pristine locations, Shukla suggested a cycle of performative activism driven by the allure of social media validation.

This isn't the first time Shukla has voiced concerns about celebrities' environmental practices, as he similarly criticized actor Vidyut Jammwal for setting fire near a tree while camping in the forest. Shukla's vocal stance on environmental issues underscores the evolving dynamics of celebrity influence in the digital age, emphasizing the importance of substantive action over performative gestures.

23 Years of Lagaan: “A famous painter heard 'O Paalanhaare' and told me, ‘Tum jhooth bolte ho. Ek atheist aisa bhajan nahin likh sakta’” - Javed Akhtar

One of the greatest films of all time, Lagaan (2001), completed 23 years on June 15. Starring Aamir Khan and Gracy Singh, it was a fictional period drama about a group of villagers learning cricket, a game alien to them, and playing it against the British. In the pre-climax, when the villagers fear defeat, they collectively pray to God. This is when 'O Paalanhaare' is played and it leaves viewers teary-eyed. The song took a life of its own and is one of the most loved film devotional songs of all time. Many are surprised to know that Javed Akhtar, an atheist, penned this track.
