I was not misquoted, says Naseeruddin Shah on his half-educated quote

20 Aug 2020

When earlier this week, NaseeruddinShah made that stunning remark about the half-educated starlet which seemed to target KanganaRanaut, all hell broke loose. Naseer was quoted as saying, No one is interested in the opinions of some half-educated starlet who decides to take it upon herself to, you know, get justNepotismice forSushant. If there is justice that needs to be done, I think we need to have faith in the process of the law and if it is none of our business, I think we should not concern ourselves with it.It takes a man of tremendous guts to take on MsRanaut, although it must be noted that he doesnt mention her name. Lekinsamajhnewale koishaarakaafihai, says a grateful Bollywooddenizen who hasbeenconstantly attacked by MsRanautand her mysterious team. We are all too scared of what she will say next. So everyone keeps quiet. But she takes our silence to be an encouragement for her attack. Now she saysKaranJoharshould return to hisPadmaShri. Is she the President of India? We are glad one of us had the guts to put her in her place.Though Ive knownNaseerSaab to be self-ruinously outspoken in the past (remember his recent comments onRajeshKhanna?) I thought this time he may have been misquoted. But here is Naseers response to my doubts, I was not misquoted. That is all I have to say.KanganaRanauts response to this soberingputdown has been surprisingly restrained. Maybe she is sharpening her knives.
