The returns of this market are enormous and the minister should tackle this issue.”
Sharmila commented that she was not against the minister’s statement on alcohol, but added that contrasting liquor, that a person may “opt” to take; fake medicines were “accidentally” causing immense harm to life. She said there were other health issues like pesticides in water and vegetables that required to be addressed on a main concern basis.

The Censor Board chief said the film industry’s views should be taken before any step is taken towards a ban. She also pointed out that unlike films that overlook associate like smoking and drinking, music videos adore these habits.
