New Delhi: Anupam Kher posted a video on Twitter replying to Naseeruddin Shah’s comment on him. Naseeruddin Shah in an interview with a News platform expressed his views on the current situation of the ongoing anti-CAA-NRC-NPR protests.
In the video, Anupam said “I saw the interview you gave about me. Thank you. I don’t take you or your opinions seriously. Even though I have never bad-mouthed about you. But now I will say — you have spent your entire life (even after achieving success) in frustration. If you can criticise Dilip Kumar, Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Rajesh Khanna, Virat Kohli… then I am sure, I am in great company.
Here is the Anupam Kher’s reply:
जनाब नसीरुदिन शाह साब के लिए मेरा प्यार भरा पैग़ाम!!! वो मुझसे बड़े है। उम्र में भी और तजुर्बे में भी। मै हमेशा से उनकी कला की इज़्ज़त करता आया हूँ और करता रहूँगा। पर कभी कभी कुछ बातों का दो टूक जवाब देना बहुत ज़रूरी होता। ये है मेरा जवाब। ? pic.twitter.com/M4vb8RjGjj

He also spoke about Deepika, who received mixed response for her visiting JNU after some of its students were thrashed.
Naseeruddin talked about the protests against the CAA, about many Bollywood stars keeping mum over the issue, and also about the student protests and actress Deepika Padukone”s show of solidarity at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU).
Asked if speaking against the ruling party or voicing opinion could harm actors or the film they are associated with, Shah said actors usually think only of themselves. “Otherwise there”d be more parity. But that”s a story for another day,” he said.
