Ever since the unfortunate demise of Sushant Singh Rajput, there have been a lot of debates and discussions on social media and news channels on how the Bollywood industry is. From nepotism to now the drug probe by the Narcotics Control Bureau, there have been many opinions that have surfaced.
And now, in an interview with Barkha Dutt, veteran lyricist and script writer Javed Akhtar talks about what he would do if he found his children Farhan and Zoya smoke marijuna. He said, "I would tell them not to do it, it's not right. But they are grown-ups. It's like when I gave up alcohol in 1991, and haven't taken a sip since then. I used to drink every day. I have come to the conclusion that if you have any kind of intoxication, it can harm you."
