Shabana Azmi on Kangana Ranaut calling her anti-national: May God bless her

The entire nation is reeling with the shock caused by the ghastly Pulwama tragedy. Several Bollywood celebs came forward to lend their support and stand in support with the grieving families of the martyred soldiers.

In the wake of this deadly attacks in which around 40 CRPF soldiers were killed, veteran actress Shabana Azmi and her lyricist husband Javed Akhtar pulled out of event organized by Karachi Art Council, in which they were invited to celebrate the writings of the actress’ renowned father Kaifi Azmi’s writings.

When Kangana Ranaut was asked about Azmi’s move of pulling out of the event and calling for a halt on cultural exchange between the two countries, she told Pinkvilla, “People like Shabana Azmi calling for a halt on cultural exchange, they are the ones who promote ‘Bharat tere Tukade honge’ gangs. Why did they organize an event in Karachi in the first place when Pakistani artists have been banned after Uri attacks? Now, they are trying to save face. The film industry is full of such anti-nationals who boost enemies morals in many ways but right now is the time to focus on decisive actions. Pakistan ban is not the focus, Pakistan destruction is.”

Now when In.com approached the veteran actress for her response on Kangana calling her anti-national,  she said, “You really think at a time like this, a personal attack on me can be of any significance when the entire country stands as one in our grief and in condemning this dastardly Pulwama attack? May God bless her.”

We seriously hope that our celebs stop name calling at least during such times.
