Taking a jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his interview to Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar, the Congress on Wednesday said it seems a ‘failed politician’ who is about to be rejected by the people on May 23 is looking for an alternative employment avenue in Bollywood.
Prime Minister’s interview with the Bollywood star, who described it as a ‘candid and completely non political’ chat, aired on Wednesday.
Reacting to the interview, Congress spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said, “Akshay Kumar ji is a great actor and we like him. He is a very successful actor. An unsuccessful politician who has decimated India’s economy, who has decimated India’s jobs, who has made life hell for India’s farmers and the poor, is now trying to become a better actor than Akshay Kumar ji.”
“It seems a failed politician who is about to be rejected on May 23, 2019, is looking for an alternative employment avenue in Bollywood, but I don’t think so, a failed politician like Modi ji will be a successful actor in Bollywood. Akshay Kumar will remain Akshay Kumar,” he told reporters.

He also said Prime Minister Modi is trying to become a better actor than Akshay Kumar but he has again failed miserably like he has failed India.
“You looted the entire currency of this country and were clapping and laughing during demonetisation. Is the PM’s job to make fun of people, make fun of institutions, make fun of people whom the country feels proud of, or will he do some work also,” he said.
In the interview, which aimed to unveil ‘some lesser known facts’ about Modi, the prime minister touched upon various aspects of his childhood and his journey before he came to power.
