Bollywood actress Juhi Chawla had filed a petition against 5G wireless networks in India. Last week, the Delhi High Court had dismissed her lawsuit and had fined her a hefty amount of Rs 20 lakhs, describing the plea as “defective”, “abuse of process of law” and filled for gaining “publicity.”
Today, she took to her Instagram and posted a video explaining her take on bringing a 5G wireless network in India. In the video, she has exclaimed that an important message was lost amid the noise and in fact, she is “welcoming” about the idea of bringing 5G in India but just was wants to seek assurance of its safety.
In the video, she said, “Hello. In the last few days, there was so much noise that I couldn’t even listen to myself. Amid the noise, I felt that a very important message was probably lost. And that was, we’re not against 5G. In fact, we’re welcoming of it. Please do bring it.” She further added, “All we’re asking is the authorities certify 5G safe. We’re saying that please certify, please publish your studies and research on this in the public domain so that our fear is allayed. So that all of us can sleep peacefully. We just want to know that it is safe for children, for pregnant women, for unborn children, for people who are old, infirm, for flora, fauna… that is all we are asking.”
In the caption she wrote, “hear” followed by a thumbs-up emoji.
The fans immediately took to her comments and wrote, “EVERY Words are true ma’am. I am with you.” Another said, “She demanded safety which is absolutely right she is lovely.” A third said, “I love her spirit, she smiles even through hardships and is extremely polite. We need more people like her.”
Justice J R Midha had stated the lawsuit to be “not maintainable” and the lawsuit is “stuffed with unnecessary, scandalous, frivolous and vexatious averments.” She also said that the complaints should have been addressed to the government before reaching out to the court.
