And Now, Israeli Ambassador To India Slams Varun Dhawan & Janhvi Kapoor’s Bawaal For ‘Trivialising The Holocaust’

New Delhi: Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor starrer Bawaal has been accused of trivialising the suffering of the victims of the Holocaust. Now, Ambassador of Israel to India Naor Gilon has also taken to Twitter to express disappointment with the film. He mentioned that even though he hasn’t watched Bawaal yet, he urges those who aren’t aware of the Holocaust to ‘educate themselves’.

“I did not and will not watch the film Bawaal but from what I’ve read, there was a poor choice of terminology and symbolism. Trivialization of the Holocaust should disturb all. I urge those who don’t know enough about the horrors of the #Holocaust to educate themselves about it,” the ambassador wrote on Twitter.

A day before, the Israeli embassy in India also issued a statement criticising the movie. It mentioned that they are ‘disturbed by the trivialization of the significance of the Holocaust’ in Bawaal. “There was a poor choice in the utilization of some terminology in the movie, and though we assume no malice was intended, we urge everyone who may not be fully aware of the horrors of the Holocaust to educate themselves about it,” the statement added.
