Highlights

• Isha Koppikar called herself a “proud” blind follower, but said her devotion is towards India, not a political party.
• The actress said patriotism does not mean agreeing with every government policy.
• Kangana Ranaut backed Isha, sharing her own experiences of speaking out against injustice.

The word “blind follower” has long been used as a political criticism, usually to describe someone who supports a leader or party without questioning them. Isha Koppikar, however, has turned the phrase on its head. In a recent Instagram video, the actress described herself as a “proud” blind follower, but made it clear that her devotion is to India rather than any political party. Kangana Ranaut subsequently shared Isha’s video and said she could relate to the sentiment.

Isha Koppikar says her devotion is to the country

Isha did not shy away from the controversial label. “Yes, I am an andhbhakt. If it is bhakti (devotion) to love your country and want to see it progress, then yes, I am proud to be a bhakt… andhbhakt,” she said. However, she immediately drew a distinction between patriotism and political loyalty.
