Way more people contributing to society: Apte

Actor Rishi Kapoor made headlines on Wednesday when in a series of tweets, he questioned popular places being named after icons of the Congress Party like Rajiv Gandhi and Indira Gandhi. He wants them changed and prefers people who have contributed to the society, including from the entertainment industry.

He proposed Bandra/Worli Sea Link be named after legendary singer Lata Mangeshkar, Film City after legendary actors like Dilip Kumar, Dev Anand, Ashok Kumar or Amitabh Bachchan. 

About Kapoor’s tweets, Radhika said at the launch of the song, ‘Roke Na Ruke’ from Phobia, “I’ve really not thought about it. I genuinely haven’t read the tweet. I’ll think about it and tell you the next time I see you. I genuinely haven’t read the tweets.” “I think there are way more people who contribute to the society, in many ways, we don’t even know them. I don’t think much about this,” she added.
