A special CBI court in Mumbai is likely to announce its verdict in the suicide case of actor Jiah Khan on Friday, news agency PTI reported. The actor was found dead in her suburban home on June 3, 2013.

Social media has given the common man the power to express and challenge the status quo. However, with power comes responsibility and some tend to exploit it to spread hate or serve personal agendas. Actors and our movies have often faced the wrath of the ‘Boycott Bollywood’ brigade, and that phase raises its head occasionally. While it’s fair to question or disagree, Abhay Deol, during a conversation with us, gave his take on the cancel culture that ostracizes actors and their films.

He said, “Technology has allowed information to flow quickly, but also misinformation to flow quickly. Everybody has power. Those with a conscience and the ones with an agenda are equally powerful today. So, it’s a mixed bag. There will be people calling out the film industry for not changing as rapidly as the world. There are also those with an agenda, who just want to boycott and ban things because it serves their personal agenda. I do not believe in the cancel culture and bans.”
