Filmfare awards tampering with Wikipedia page, 'Paid Award' written in front of 'Gully Boy'
Since the Filmfare Awards ceremony of 2020, there have been controversies about this one after another. Zoya Akhtar's film 'Gully Boy' has won awards in a total of 13 categories. This is the record for the most awards won by a single film so far. At the same time, this film received nomination in a total of 19 categories.
Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt starrer 'Gully Boy' also won Best Film Award. After this, a user went to Wikipedia's page and wrote the tree while tampering. Apart from this, quite a lot were posted on social media against Filmfare. The Boy Cut Filmfare Awards on Twitter also started trending for some time.
It was written paid, then the change happened
Wikipedia has a column of records on the Filmfare Awards page. This column also has the column of 'Most Award for Single Film'. In this, 'Gully Boy' is at number one. A user wrote 'Paid Award' in front of Gully Boy. However, after some time it was changed and the paid award was dropped. Significantly, any user on Wikipedia can go and change his information.
Manoj Muntashir also protested
Manoj Muntashir, who wrote 'Teri Mitti', has also expressed his displeasure over the Filmfare Award. Releasing the statement on Instagram, he wrote, 'Dear Awards, even if I try my whole life, I will not be able to write a better song than' Teri Mitti '. He further wrote, 'I officially announce- I will not go to any award show till my last breath.' Let me tell you that the song 'Apna Time Aayega' from 'Gully Boy' has been selected for the Best Lyrics Award.
