Former actress and politician Jaya Bachchan says our country has immense talent but people run after international brands. She says we should appreciate what we have.
Jaya Bachchan interacted with media at the launch of ‘Jio Made By A Million Hands Shopping Plaza’ on Saturday. When talking about the artifacts and collection at the Shopping plaza, she said, “This country has immense potential but no one taps into it. We go to designer shops to buy branded clothes and bags but no one takes a look at the amazing culture we have within our country. This talent we are seeing here, I can tell you and share it with as many people I can but media has to make use of this as a weapon and show it to the entire country, that we have so much talented artists and craftsmen within our land. This is truly made and created in India.” she added.
Rajeev Sethi organized the event that celebrated and supported 70 artisans from six states. They created over 3,500 products in tandem with 20 acclaimed designers, all of whom were present for the opening ceremony. When asked about her opinion on the upcoming Lok Sabha elections she said, “What I think we need is such politicians ( Rajeev Sethi) who are there for the people. We have amazing potential as a country and if we have good politicians like him we can do so much more.” On Jaya’s suggestion that he joins politics, Rajeev said, “What you can do in culture you can’t do in politics, but my friend here (Jaya) will turn politics into culture.”
