“Naseer sahab is a friend and senior to me in profession but it is surprising and top of it a very foolish comment. I have the right to speak about any community, any issue; I can talk about Punjabis, Tamil, Muslims and not just about Kashmiris. I don’t have to provide a bonafide certificate to anyone. Being a Kashmiri, I have the right to speak about them as they are living as refugees in their own country.”
All the spotlights went on the two actors when Shah reportedly took a potshot at the ' Saaransh' actor during the promotion of his new flick 'Waiting.'
