Back in 2013, Naseeruddin Shah had openly expressed his lack of admiration for Farhan Akhtar’s films and acting, with the notable exception of Farhan’s directorial debut Dil Chahta Hai (2001). In an interview with The Times of India, Shah stated, “I’m not a great fan of his acting or his films,” while simultaneously acknowledging Farhan’s multifaceted talents.
Now, nearly 12 years later, Farhan Akhtar has broken his silence, offering a candid response to Naseeruddin’s remarks.
Speaking about the public nature of the critique, Farhan said, “It has to be done with a certain degree of love, and a certain degree of respect for the other person. I felt that it didn’t come from that place. I just felt it was just like a statement just thrown out publicly. I felt that then this person doesn’t respect you… so why should I reach out to a person who doesn’t respect me?”
