New Delhi: Senior BJP leader Lal Krishna Advani on Tuesday got emotional at a special screening of ‘Shikara’– a film based on the lives of Kashmiri Pandits and their exodus from Kashmir.

In a video going viral on social media, Chopra is seen running up to Advani to console him.

“Shri L K Advani at the special screening of #Shikara We are so humbled and grateful for your blessings and your appreciation for the film Sir,” the official handle of the film captioned. Earlier on Friday, the director was slammed by a section of the audience for the alleged inaccurate depiction of Kashmiri Pandits within the film.

The film ‘Shikara’ is based on the migration of Kashmiri Pandits from the valley in the 1990s. The special thing about the film is that it stars more than 4000 artists who have tried to revive the scene of exodus from the 1990s. Refugee camp scenes were shot for several days and nights. As a leader, Lal Krishna Advani has seen the pain of Kashmiri Pandits from close quarters.
