Director Anuparna Roy defended all children, not only Palestinian kids, says family

The family of filmmaker Anuparna Roy has come forward to clarify recent controversies surrounding her statements on the plight of children in conflict zones. According to them, Roy’s work and activism have always focused on protecting the rights of all children, not just those from Palestine.

Roy, known for her socially conscious films, has often highlighted issues affecting vulnerable children, including war, displacement, and poverty. Her comments were reportedly misunderstood, leading to criticism on social media and in some news outlets.

In a statement, her family emphasized that Roy has consistently advocated for universal child welfare, and any claims suggesting she prioritizes one group over another misrepresent her intentions. They described her efforts as part of a lifelong commitment to raising awareness about children affected by crises worldwide.

The clarification comes amid heightened sensitivities regarding global conflicts, where public figures’ statements are closely scrutinized. Roy’s family expressed hope that the focus would return to her work in promoting child rights and humanitarian issues rather than controversy.

Experts note that such misunderstandings are common when activists speak on sensitive topics, underscoring the importance of context in interpreting public statements.
