What is the news?

He not only called this neglect ‘shameful’ but also called it an insult to a great contributor to the Indian film industry.

It is a matter of great shame- Shatrughan
Expressing his displeasure over this neglect, Shatrughan has taken the Academy to task in strong words. They Variety India Said, “He is forever in our hearts, why do we Indians need an Oscar nod? It’s a shame on them (the Academy) if they don’t honor great actors like Dilip Kumar, Lata Mangeshkar and now Dharmendra. What difference does it make to us?”
Esha Deol said- Papa was never worried about small things
On one hand, Shatrughan expressed his displeasure, while Dharmendra’s daughter Esha Deol has a slightly different and very emotional view. She said, “I don’t think this will ever make any difference to Papa. He has always had a big heart to worry about these small things. For him, life was never about recognition or status. It was always about love, kindness and the place he had in people’s hearts.”
Remembered Kangana’s anger on Dharmendra’s insult
In 2022, when Lata Mangeshkar was not remembered at both the Oscars and the Grammys, Kangana Ranaut had said, “We should take a strong stand against any local award shows that claim to be international but deliberately ignore and sideline great artists on the basis of ideology.” Let us tell you that Dharmendra’s fans are also expressing their displeasure on social media due to his being ignored at the Oscars.
