Soon after the crew of the National Award-winning movie Sudani From Nigeria decided to boycott the function as a mark of protest against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, social media was abuzz with the suggestion that other winners should follow suit. Of course, not all from Bollywood agreed with the suggestion, with musician Shashwat Sachdev — who took home the title for Best Music Direction (Background Music) for Vicky Kaushal-starrer Uri: The Surgical Strike, stating he doesn't know "what I would get by rejecting" the honour.
"The National Award is not given by people who have an opinion about a [political] party. It is given by a jury that belongs to different parts of the country; its members speaking multiple languages. [By giving me this award] they have made a part of history in such a way that if, eventually, I have an opinion, I can voice it, and I will have an audience that will pay heed," says Sachdev.
