Veteran actor Mukesh Khanna has lashed out at Naseeruddin Shah for his recent remark where he said that 'Muslim hating has become fashionable these days, even among educated people.'
In his new video shared on his YouTube channel, Mukesh talked about how a talented actor like Naseeruddin Shah has become a fanatic. He recalled his old statement in 2018 where Naseeruddin had expressed his fear for his children walking on the streets and being asked about their religion.
Mukesh then went on to count the horrific murder and killing incidents which took place at the hands of people belonging to the Muslim community. He said that it is not the Muslim who are unsafe but it is the Hindus who are not safe in India.
Slamming Naseeruddin for his recent remark, Mukesh wrote on Instagram in Hindi, "I came to know after seeing Naseeruddin Shah that a great actor can say such a cheap and childish thing. It is said that Muslims are not safe in India. Sakshi, Shraddha, Ankita incident, apart from vandalism in Kanpur Hanuman temple, even after the heinous incident of beheading of a tailor in broad daylight and they have the audacity to say that Muslims are not safe in our country."
He continued, "Arey, there is anyone unsafe, they are 100 crore Hindus only. You have become a fanatic which does not suit you as an actor. If so, then join the gang promoting the team of love jihad. You have to think otherwise people have to stop watching your films. God bless you!!!"
Naseeruddin has been in the news for his comments about the current government in India. He is also known for his bold statements which often make noise on social media.
