'Father Refused To Go To Pakistan': Naseeruddin Shah After Standing Up For Diljit Dosanjh
Last Updated: Amid backlash over his support for Diljit Dosanjh in the Sardaar Ji 3 row, Naseeruddin Shah says he doesn't need to prove his patriotism to anyone. Naseeruddin Shah has been in the headlines after coming out in support of Diljit Dosanjh over Sardaar Ji 3, which stars Pakistani actress Hania Aamir. Naseer, who had posted on Facebook in support of Dosanjh, has now stated that he doesn't have to prove his love for this country to anyone. In a heartfelt opinion piece for The Indian Express, Naseeruddin Shah shared that his father refused to go to Pakistan with his brother and was quite certain about staying back. He wrote, 'I was born in India into the fifth generation of a Muslim family, my wife into an even older Hindu one, and we hope our children can be a combination of the best of both. My father refused to go to Pakistan when his brothers left; he was certain India had a future for us, just as I feel it does for my offspring. This is a dream that cannot be abandoned." Earlier, Naseeruddin had come forward to back Diljit, who has been receiving flak for his association with a Pakistani co-star. 'I STAND FIRMLY WITH DILJIT," Naseeruddin had written. 'The dirty tricks deptt of Jumla Party has been awaiting a chance to attack him. They think they've got it at last. He was not responsible for the casting of the film — the director was." He continued, 'But no one knows who he is, whereas Diljit is known the world over, and he agreed to the cast because his mind is not poisoned. What these goons want is to put an end to personal interaction between the people of India and Pakistan. I have close relatives and some dear friends there, and no one can stop me from meeting them or sending them love whenever I feel like it. And my response to those who will say 'Go to Pakistan' is 'GO TO KAILASA'." Later, when his post was taken down and netizens believed he had indeed removed it, the actor clarified, 'I have NOT deleted my post about Diljit Dosanjh. I don't care a fiddler's fart for backlash." Filmmaker Ashoke Pandit also reacted to Naseeruddin's remarks. Speaking to ANI, he said, 'We are not surprised, not shocked, by Naseeruddin Shah's response to Diljit Dosanjh's entire episode. The educated, versatile actor, senior person in the industry, calling us goons proves the frustration and kind of restlessness of Naseeruddin Shah." First Published:

Vikrant Massey On Deepika Padukone's 8-Hour Work Rule: "She Deserves It"
New Delhi: Sandeep Reddy Vanga found his lead actress in Deepika Padukone for his upcoming film Spirit. The deal, however, collapsed after the duo reportedly had a fallout over remuneration and work hour disagreements. Since then, conversations around work-life balance have been rampant in the film industry. Now, Vikrant Massey has shared his perspective on the topic. The actor, who will next be seen in Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan, has voiced his support in favour of Deepika Padukone. The two have worked together in the 2013 film Chhapaak. Vikrant Massey, in a conversation with Firstpost, said, 'Maybe in a couple of years…I want to go out and say, we can collaborate, but I would only work for eight hours. But at the same time, it should be a choice. And if my producer cannot accommodate that, because there are also a lot of other things involved when you are making a film. Money plays a very important role and I will have to reduce my fees as I will be working for eight hours and twelve hours.' He added, 'If I cannot give my producer twelve hours a day, I cannot go out there and not reduce my fee. I ought to reduce my fee. It's a give and take, right? And as a young mother, I think Deepika deserves it.' Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh welcomed a baby girl, Dua, on September 8 last year. When asked about his past, X-post, where his 'taking a break' from acting was misinterpreted as him retiring from films completely, Vikrant Massey had a befitting reply. The 38-year-old clarified, 'I still feel work-life balance is very, very important. I had put that tweet out because I wanted to go back home and spend some time with my kid and my wife and my family. And, it is imperative that we go back home and recalibrate, not just as actors, as people.' His concluding words were, 'I think we are all running at such a speed. I don't know what, but the idea is to sort of just ground yourself and recalibrate yourself, find your centre again, and I think that only happens with family.' Coming to Vikrant Massey's Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan, the romantic drama also marks Shanaya Kapoor's Bollywood debut. The film will premiere on July 11.
