Paresh Rawal: Actors are entertainers, army and police personnel are heroes

Bollywood's veteran actor Paresh Rawal took to social media to share his thoughts on the actual meaning of real heroes. He suggested that the people should start calling actors as entertainers and the Army and police officials as heroes.

Mumbai: In a tribute to the Indian soldiers and police force, veteran actor Paresh Rawal on Tuesday proposed that the country must refer to actors as 'entertainers' and forces as 'heroes.'

Conventionally, actors in lead roles in films are mostly referred to as 'heroes'. Rawal took to Twitter to share his thought with his fans and followers.

"We Should Start Calling Actors As 'Entertainers' And Our Army & Police As 'Heroes' for Our Next Generation To Know The Actual Meaning Of Real Heroes," he tweeted.

The thought of the Bollywood veteran has received thousands of likes and has garnered over 50.1k retweets on the microblogging website.

His tweet comes a week after the violent face-off of Indian soldiers with China in Ladakh's Galwan valley in which twenty personnel of the Indian Army were killed.

Indian intercepts revealed that the Chinese side suffered 43 casualties including dead and seriously injured in the violent clash.

On the work front, the 65-year-old actor has some interesting projects in his kitty. He will be seen essaying the role of former Indian president APJ Abdul Kalam in his next film. The biopic will be jointly produced by Abhishek Agarwal and Anil Sunkara.
