Rakul Preet Singh on rape cases during COVID-19 pandemic: My blood boils

Updated : Jun 8, 2021, 22:11 IST3052 views

Bollywood actress Rakul Preet Singh is known for speaking her mind and often shares her opinion on various social issues. Now, in a recent conversation, Rakul went on to say that when she reads about rapes happening in the country amid the COVID-19 pandemic, it really boils her blood. She said, 'I have to bring this up, but recently, I read about a rape case in Manesar, and my blood just boils reading such news. I mean there are people dying, there’s this pandemic with which the world is struggling, and then there are people like this. I just don’t know what to make of it. Sometimes you start seeing a question mark as to whether we should be called humans at all.' She also expressed that she hopes that people start to become more human, warmer and just nicer towards each other. Rakul said, 'Honestly, our existence doesn’t matter, forget what you’re chasing. It all boils down to the people around you, those small moments of joy and life being so unpredictable. If you start understanding it from that perspective, you will just look at life very differently. You will value smaller things as you live one day at a time. So, I just hope people become warmer and nicer.' Talking about her fund-raising campaign for the needy people, she told, 'If it was in my hands, I would probably go out on the streets and start helping people in need. But, you can’t do that because there are norms that each one of us needs to follow..' Rakul also revealed that there are days when she is unable to extend help. She said, 'But where do you draw the line? And how much do you push yourself?'. The actress added, 'At the end of the day, I have made peace with the fact that we are all humans, and there’s only little you can do. And that’s something with which I continue to march on.'
