Farhan Akhtar Lashes Out At BJP Leader For Alleging That Actors Have ‘Low IQ’

The multi-talented Farhan Akhtar recently lost his cool and took to his Twitter page to lash out at Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) spokesperson GVL Narasimha Rao over his statement that most Indian film stars have “very low IQ and very low general knowledge”.

Taking to his Twitter page, Farhan said, “How dare you, sir?” and tagged the leader in the tweet. Responding to this outburst, Rao tweeted, “Farhan ji, Expressing an opinion is not a dare. Respect stars4work. Pl do take criticism in stride. No intolerance please!!”

Farhan’s comment was in reaction to an interview Rao gave to a news channel over the ongoing controversy on Tamil film “Mersal” that has scenes criticizing the GST and the Digital India initiatives of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. In the interview, Rao had said: “In any case, most of our film stars have very low IQ, very low general knowledge.”
