As a country we are always tolerant but now it’s high time that we put our foot down and we show them what India can do.”
He also spoke about Pakistani artists not condemning the Uri attack diplomatically stating, “We are not in a position to opinionate about what the others do or don’t. We can only speak for ourselves. What we express is solely our opinion and I am just very fortunate to be a part of the film industry. We really go out there and express our solidarity not only with our country but also our soldiers who are the true heroes of this country.”
