Legendary painter MF Hussain's younger son Owais made a shocking revelation that his father wanted to burn down all his works before he dies. Owais, who is planning to make a masala film on his father's life, says that Hussain never told him why he wanted to burn his paintings.
Why did MF Hussain would have wanted to burn his works? The reason is what we all know. Hussain never had respect towards Hindu gods and goddesses. His abusive paintings on Hindu gods have created quite a stir in the past. There were people who celebrated Hussain's death due to his heinous works. A chain e-mail has been circulated among the internet circles regarding Hussain's paintings. The pictures clearly showed that Hussain was against Hinduism.
MF never dared to draw a picture of Muslim woman in a provocative manner. Although Hussain fans claim that he was not against Hinduism, his paintings speak on behalf of him. May be that is the reason why Hussain wanted to burn all his works as he doesn't want to pick a few and get highlighted. However, the damage to his image has been done and it can't be repaired forever as Hussain feared. His son Owais is reluctant to mention why his father wanted to destroy his works. He simply said that he didn't know. But the world knows the reason, isn't it?
