Naseeruddin Shah took to his Facebook account and shared a post in support of Diljit Dosanjh after the actor-singer was slammed for working with Pakistani actress, Hania Aamir despite the tension between the two nations. However, the post disappeared soon after, and netizens assumed that the veteran actor had deleted it. Now, days later, Naseeruddin has reacted to the same and revealed that he had not deleted the post, but the social media platform took it down.
Naseeruddin Shah claims social media removed his post
Naseeruddin Shah sat for a candid conversation with The Indian Express and clarified that he had not deleted his post. The actor revealed that it was taken down by the social media platform, Facebook. He shared that if it was to be taken as a justification, then so be it, but he doesn’t need to justify himself. He added that he said what he said, and he stands by it. He was quoted as saying:
“If this is taken to be a justification of my Facebook post (which has been taken down, not deleted by me) in support of Diljit Dosanjh, so be it. But the fact is I need to justify nothing. I said whatever I had to say and I stand by it. Nor am I discouraged by the lack of support from the film industry. I wasn’t expecting any — they all either have too much to lose or they disagree.”
