No matter what, will stay positive: Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan

Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan on Thursday, while participating at the inaugural ceremony of the 28th International Kolkata Film Festival, emphasized that as negativity has increased social media consumption but individuals like him won't be affected and continue to remain positive.

"Social media is often driven by a certain narrowness of view that limits human nature to its baser self...I read somewhere-negativity increases social media consumption...Such pursuits enclose collective narrative making it divisive & destructive," Shah Rukh Khan said at the Kolkata event. "No matter what the world does, people like us will stay positive," the actor added. Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan also inaugurated the 28th International Kolkata Film Festival, on Thursday evening.

Apart from them, actors Rani Mukerjee, Mahesh Babu, CM Mamta Banerjee and cricketer Sourav Ganguly also attended the grand inaugural function.

The 'Swades' actor donned a black three-piece suit, while Rani was seen twinning with her 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai' co-actor and opted for a beautiful black saree.

"At present times of political unrest, the children of India try to reject the ideas of the West, it's the lesson they've received from the West. Such isn't our mission. India's there to unite all races. These words of Tagore must echo in all Indians' hearts," Mahesh Bhatt said. (ANI)
