New Delhi: Bollywood actress Kajol, known to speak her mind, did so one more time while promoting her upcoming web series ‘The Trial’.

This time, though, she had to clarify her comments on political leaders and lack of educational background among some of them after facing massive backlash.

“I was merely making a point about education and its importance. My intention was not to demean any political leaders, we have some great leaders who are guiding the country on the right path,” Kajol tweeted this evening in an effort to subdue the criticism she was facing.

“Change, especially in a country like India, is slow. It is very, very slow. Because we are steeped in our tradition, steeped in our thought processes. Of course it has to do with education,” the DDLJ actress said during a talk show in the context of ‘The Trial’, a courtroom and political drama.

“You have political leaders who do not have an educational system background. I am sorry but I am going to go out and say that. I have been ruled by leaders, so many of them, who do not have that viewpoint, which I think education does give you at least the chance to look for a different viewpoint,” she had said.

‘The Trial: Pyaar, Kaanoon, Dhokha’ also features Kubbra Sait, Flora Saini and Jisshu Sengupta among others. It will start streaming on Disney+ Hotstar from July 14.
