Over the last few days, Bollywood stars have been expressing their support for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's demonetisation policy. No sooner had the PM announced the demonetisation of Rs. 500 and Rs. 1000 notes on November 8 than many stars took to Twitter to hail the decision.
Hrithik Roshan is the latest celebrity to lend his support to the policy. The actor said, "I salute our PM. This is radical but it's a first step to his promise of eradication of malpractices. It will also rein in counterfeiters. Bravo!!"
Of course, the 'Kaabil' actor was well aware of how the decision has caused inconvenience to the daily lives of citizens. Keeping this into account, Hrithik pointed out that this is a necessary step to curb black money and people will probably understand its benefits only in hindsight. He stated, "Every bold and inspirational move is initially met with resistance. It's only in hindsight that people will appreciate the strength of this move against black money."
