NEW DELHI: Veteran actor Anupam Kher today said that while he believes art has no boundaries, it is the moral responsibility of Pakistani actors working in India to publicly condemn the Uri attack.
Raj Thackeray-led MNS recently asked Pakistani artistes like Fawad Khan and Mahira Khan to leave India following the attack, which left 18 soldiers dead. MNS has now threatened to stall the shooting of movies with Pakistani artistes.
When asked about whether it was right to ban Pakistani artistes from working in Indian films, Kher said, “I believe art and culture should not have boundaries but it is important and the moral responsibility of Pakistani actors working here to condemn the terrorist attack, which killed our soldiers.”
The actor said even he had condemned the Peshawar school attack and does not see any harm in Pakistani artistes doing the same now.
“I am not saying condemn your country because that's very difficult for you as you are living there and politically it may not be the correct move. We welcome them, give them platform and places, they become popular and earn money, and they deserve that. But it is important to be sensitive to the sensitivity of Indian people. (AGENCIES)
