Trust everyone to jump on the ‘trending’ bandwagon, even Paayal Rohatgi. Remember her? She appeared in a few films in the early 2000s, that weren’t exactly A-list. Films that unabashedly catered to the male gaze (minus Neha Dhupia’s self-awareness) and where she tried to titillate her way into Bollywood.
#cowslaughter is NOT banned in #kerala. Dear Kerala people and politicians of Kerala, not good to hurt the sentiments of #Hindus. If u openly do that, sorry to sound but God also openly does it.. God is one but u can’t hurt religious faith like this pic.twitter.com/eqBwM7F15G

She took off on the #TalkToAMuslim campaign on Twitter, after Rahul Gandhi made some comments about the Congress being a ‘Muslim party’. As people from around the country held placards, Rohatgi found a message of her own to relay. Her sign basically said how she was ‘scared as a Hindu’ and ‘scared to worship a cow’.
Scared to be A #Hindu, Scared to be A #Majority, Scared to worship A #Cow…. Please stop my scare as MY Grandparents were TOLD to move to India in 1947 Partition of #Bharat….. Please stop my Scare. #PoliticsofIndia pic.twitter.com/gZ495ifrLB

We decided to scan through her Twitter feed and found some really… interesting tweets by her championing the popular sentiment. Believe it or not, but according to Rohatgi there’s ‘someone’ out there trying to ‘finish off the Hindus’. It’s like a WhatsApp forward’s come to life.
If #India becomes like #MuslimPakistan then will #ShashiTharoor be happy #2019Elections agenda based on development of India if u guys have brain NOT on finishing #Hindus frm #Hindusthan. By calling #India #HinduPakistan is he is a fan of Pakistan or No #foolishpolitician pic.twitter.com/8IGLKQueUB

Paayal Rohatgi batting for Shri Narendra Modi, purely out of respect of course.
If #SalmanKhan can become Human by #beinghuman campaign, #SunnyLeone can become Indianheroine by selling #pornisbeautiful campaign, Late #MahatmaGandhi ji became Father of the Nation by #DividingBharat campaign, why can’t Shri #NarendraModi ji become Beta of India #changethePR pic.twitter.com/8OAwCdYd4T

When she jumped on the troll brigade, to unmask Shehla Rashid’s ‘threat’.
9/11 attack on Twin towers was also by RSS And the #MumbaiTerror attacks was by RSS Maybe they will buy out someone from RSS to prove THIS fragmentation of their imagination. God bless this lady. https://t.co/NJGS0yNqp0

Rohatgi has previously been in the news for her bigotry, after she missed her flight. But the problem began when she (curiously) blamed it on the religion of the attendants. Basically how do you say no to celebrity entitlement without getting called out for your religion?
The Facebook live was only momentarily successful as even though she found herself in people’s consciousness for some time, it didn’t help her film career. Something she’s desperately trying to revive, with these bunch of Pro-Sanju and Rajkumar Hirani tweets.
#Media is so badly exposed in #Sanju film. Only A powerful director like Mr Hirani could portray that. #Sources & #publicists are a cliche. Even they used #sources said that #Madhuriji track is gonna be depicted #Sources nowadays are #PR of artists justifying d monthly salary pic.twitter.com/tgEGQQvCRx

#RajkumarHirani Sir is a loyal man. #SunilDutt Saab gave him break with Munnabhai film at the start of his career and now Mr Hirani has paid back his loyalty with interest as #Sanju is a film that has revived #RanbirKapoor and #SanjayDutt Sir career. I respect #loyalty. pic.twitter.com/p4BDvQgNV4

Rohtagi is only just another member of a team, where celebrities like Paresh Rawal, Vivek Agnihotri and Anupam Kher are legends. They pick up nuggets of information and news championing Hindu-centric politics of those in power, and peddle it to their large following without verification.
Where ever I go, people ask one question definitely – Why does Bollywood make appeasement films? Why does it glorify Muslims and demoralises Hindu Civilisation? Is Bollywood Congress controlled? The answer lies elsewhere. What do you think is the right answer?

At the end of the day, Paayal Rohatgi is just another pawn in peddling hate speech against ‘the other’, be it in terms of religion, societal or political beliefs.
