MUMBAI, Oct 14:
Naseeruddin Shah, who was trolled on Twitter for his comments during the book launch of former Pakistani foreign minister Khurshid Mahmud Kasuri, today said he does not need to justify his patriotism to anyone.
The 66-year-old actor said he was left “dejected” with the way the incident was reported as the “pertinent points” raised by other intellectuals who were present at the event was ignored but what he said was picked on and “misstatements” were made.
“My name is Naseeruddin Shah and I believe that’s why I was targeted. If it had been something else, perhaps what I said wouldn’t have made so much news…,” Shah told India Today TV. (PTI)
