On Tuesday, former Rajya Sabha MP Subramanian Swamy took to X and said that the actor had a role in persuading the Qatar government to set eight Indian Navy veterans free who were held on espionage charges. He wrote, "Modi should take Cinema star Sharuk Khan to Qatar with him since after MEA and NSA had failed to persuade the Shiekhs of Qatar, Modi pleaded with Khan to intervene , and thus got an expensive settlement from the Qatar Shiekhs to free our Naval officers."
