If you aren't aware of the ongoing tiff between veteran actors Naseeruddin Shah and Anupam Kher, you may well have been living under a rock. With ongoing protests against the CAA, NRC, and NPR, Shah gave his views about other actors taking a stand and voicing their opinions. In the now viral video, he criticised Kher and called him a clown, which did not sit well with the latter.
Shah said, “I am not on Twitter. These people, the Twitterati, and I really wish they would make up their minds in what they believe in. Someone like Anupam Kher has been very vocal. I don't think, he needs to be taken seriously, he is a clown, any number of his contemporaries from NSD, NFTII can test to his psychopathic nature, it is in his blood, he can't help it. The others who are opposing it should really decide about what they want to say and don't remind us of our responsibilities, we known our responsibilities.”
Kher later hit back with a video he posted on his social media, claiming Shah has been frustrated with his life. He went on to talk about Naseeruddin Shah criticising Amitabh Bachchan, Dilip Kumar, Virat Kohli to name a few and he feels fortunate to have joined their ranks.
