With the recent vandalism of Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut’s Mumbai office, the debate around her comments and reactions has heated up. While many support her brazen sense of righteousness, there are many people in the film and television industry, who do not agree to her statement that around 99 percent people in the showbiz take drugs. Actor Vijendra Kumeria, who was last seen in Naagin 4 as Dev Parikh, believes that it is unfair for Kangana to make such generic statements.“I don’t know which agency's head she (Kangana) is and how much she knows. I am sure there must be people who use drugs and they should be caught and should be punished... but you cannot say that everyone in this industry is doing drugs... that’s a very careless statement,” says the actor.

He goes on to add, “If there are bad people who are into wrong practices that don’t mean the whole industry is wrong. Such wrong apples should be picked and eliminated for sure, and because of some people how can you defame the whole industry. It’s unfair.”The actor, who is a popular name in the world of television and has been part of shows such as Tumhari Paakhi, Shastri Sisters, and Udaan, also if of the belief that actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s death is being used by many people for their publicity and personal vendetta.“A lot of people are doing this. I know some people who are trying to get publicity from SSR’s death. They are the ones for whom it doesn’t even matter if their own loved one is going through something bad. A lot of them are using it as a PR tactic. It's sad but yes again there are people who really want justice for him,” he says.

Having said that, Vijendra also feels that the media trial against the suspect, Rhea Chakraborty needs to stop.“The investigation is being conducted by ED, CBI & NCB  and we have courts to decide if the accused is guilty or not. Everyone has the right to prove themselves not guilty and you cannot take away this right from anyone. The truth will come out soon but till then this media and social media trial should stop,” he says.
