"As Padmavati becomes a burning controversy, people are asking why the legendary Amitabh Bachchan, most versatile Aamir Khan and most popular Shah Rukh Khan have no comments. And how come our I&B Minister or our most popular Honourable PM (according to Pew - American think tank Pew poll) are maintaining stoic silence. High time! (Sic)," Sinha tweeted yesterday. He defended his decision behind staying silent until now, stating that he "should" express his opinion only after Bhansali speaks.

"I speak only when I am spoken to, and I will speak keeping in mind the interests of the filmmaker as well as the sensitivity, valour, loyalty of the great Rajputs (sic)."
