In recent news, Javed Akhtar made waves with his perspective on the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in India. During an interview, he expressed his stance on this controversial issue and also shared his thoughts on the All-India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB).

When asked about his opinion on whether India should adopt a UCC, Javed Akhtar replied, "In principle, I'll say yes, why not! But there are a lot of practical difficulties. India is not like an average European country with one religion, one culture, one tradition. It has such a variety and such a range of cultures, subcultures, customs, traditions, that it becomes very difficult to imagine how it can be achieved."
