Naseeruddin Shah blasts Bollywood Khans for remaining silent in the face of BJP leaders’ insulting comments

• Naseeruddin Shah chastised Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan for remaining silent in the aftermath of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) spokespersons Nupur Sharma and Naveen Kumar Jindal’s recent blasphemous statements about the Holy Prophet (PBUH).

“However, I believe they are in a position where they have too much to lose,” the veteran player continued.
