Disturbed by trivialisation of Holocaust in ‘Bawaal’, says Israeli embassy

The Israeli embassy has registered anguish over the 'poor' reference to the Holocaust in the recently released Hindi-film 'Bawaal'. The embassy said in a statement that it requests people who may not be fully aware of the horrors of the Holocaust to educate themselves about it.

According to PTI, the film starring Varun Dhawan and Jahnvi Kapoor stirred controversy for using the Holocaust to tell a story of marital discord. The agency reported that a prominent Jewish group slammed the movie and called for its removal from the OTT platform.

Reacting to the developments, the Israeli embassy and the Israel Ambassador to India Naor Gilon voiced concern over the reference to the Holocaust.
