Salim Khan reacts to Naseeruddin Shah’s comment on Rajesh Khanna

After Twinkle Khanna and Dimple Kapadia slammed actor Naseeruddin Shah for his negative remark about yesteryear actor Rajesh Khanna, now Salim Khan has taken an offence to it and responded aggressively on Twitter.

Naseeruddin Shah, in a recent interview had quoted, “It was the 1970s when mediocrity came in Hindi films. That’s when the actor called Rajesh Khanna joined the industry. For all his success, I think Mr. Khanna was a very limited actor. In fact, he was a poor actor. Intellectually, he wasn’t the most alert person I have ever met. His taste ruled the industry,” that had irked many in the industry.

Although, Shah did apologize for his comment later on, Salman Khan’s father Salim Khan has not forgotten the remark and has given it back to the actor over a series of tweets.

An actor passed my house and saw a big crowd waiting for Salman he called me up to say he has not seen anything like this before.

I told him I have seen bigger crowds many times outside Rajesh Khannas house. He was the first and the last superstar of the millenium.

Anyone calling him a mediocre actor should know that no one can reach these heights unless he has something extraordinary to offer.
