Despite the exodus, my relations with the people in Kashmir are unchanged: Raazi actor Ashwath Bhatt

Long before Raazi’s ‘humanising the enemy’ narrative was accepted by the audience, one of its actors, Ashwath Bhatt, who left Kashmir in the exodus of 1990, had learnt that understanding the other side is far bigger for your own growth than hating it. He tells us how doing theatre and working with students from conflict zones like Syria and Palestine has put his own community’s suffering in perspective, and why when he visits Kashmir today, he talks of inclusiveness and not conflict.
