While the whole Bollywood has come together in support of Anna Hazare, Ram Gopal Varma doesn't even know who he is. In his brutally honest style, the filmmaker isn't shy of admitting it.
He tweeted: 'I have no idea who Anna hazaare is as I don't keep track of anyone expect for film people and gangsters. I don't know what he is fasting for because I don't know what he or anybody else in the whole world is upto as I am too busy in my film work. I will never ever fast for anything except for my own personal diet.'
Bollywood visits Anna
Gul Panag, who was in Delhi attending the Wills Fashion Week, went to Jantar Mantar to meet Anna Hazare with singer Rabbi. But as luck would have it, the actress couldn't meet him as he was sleeping.
But the actress had her share of fun. 'Those who want the seriousness of the issue maintained will get a bit of a shock to witness the tongue & cheek songs being sung here. Songs making fun of politicians, bureaucrats . Nice fun Jantar Mantar,' she tweeted.
Anupam Kher, however, did get to meet Hazare. 'On my way to Jantar Mantar, Delhi from Pune to pledge my support to Anna Hazare and more than One Billion INDIANS against corruption,' he wrote. He also posted a picture about the meeting.
