Mumbai: Veteran actor Om Puri says there is no black money in the film industry and no panic over the scrapping of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes.
"Nowadays, it`s all accounted for. Even my driver gets his money from producers through a cheque," Om said.
He feels it is industrialists and politicians who are likely to be most hard hit by the demonetisation.
"And that too, not all industrialists and politicians. Only those who have ill-gotten unaccounted wealth stashed away. Otherwise common people are hurt for a short term only. I had to travel to Delhi for a film premiere”.
"I didn`t have any cash to carry. I requested my travel agent to loan me a few thousands. The ordinary man on the street is hit by (Prime Minister Narendra) Modiji`s sudden announcement to scrap certain currency notes. But I say, if any good can come from this move, we should be willing to bear the inconvenience."
Meanwhile, Donald Trump`s election as the American president, has surprised Om as much as many one else.
"I am shocked by Trump`s victory. The man is erratic and untrustworthy. He can do anything any time. Hillary Clinton was classy and politically experienced. She should have been elected the American president".
