Mumbai: Actor Sunil Lahri, famous for his role of Laxman in ‘Ramayana’, on Friday expressed his opinion on the ongoing ‘Kanwar Yatra nameplate’ issue and expressed his support for the Uttar Pradesh government’s decision.
The Kanwar Yatra nameplate controversy arose after the Uttar Pradesh government issued an order asking eateries located on the Kanwar Yatra route to display the names of the owners on their shops.
After Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Madhya Pradesh have also issued similar orders. Sunil has supported this order.
Take a look at the post:
In a video posted on Instagram, the actor said: “Name is our identity. We put nameplates at the entrance of our house, so why should we shy away from putting it on our shops? Some people have a habit of making everything an issue. They should stop politicising it.”
Sunil is active on social media, where he shares anecdotes from his ‘Ramayana’ days, interacts with fans and gives updates about his personal and professional life.
Recently, the actor had also expressed his opinion about BJP’s defeat in Ayodhya seat and blamed “Ayodhyavasis” for it. He later clarified his statement.
