Nana Patekar criticises Salman over support to Pakistani artistes

Nana Patekar criticises Salman over support to Pakistani artistes

Pune, Oct 3 (UNI) Bollywood actor Nana Patekar has denounced Salman Khan for lending support to Pakistani artistes a few days ago and said no hero can be better than the Indian soldiers, the real hero are soldiers, who are fighting with terrorists on border. At a function which was jointly organised by Pune Municipal Corporation and Habitat Forum last evening here, Nana said when its seemed war-like situation in two countries, citizens should have their first duty to think about the country. Artistes or actor is not above the country. Two days ago, Salman had made a statement for supporting Pakistani artistes saying, "Actors are not terrorists." After that there was severe backlash from political leaders. Maharashtra Nav Nirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray slammed Salman for his statement and asked him to take his father Salim Khan's advice before speaking on such political issues. India should not allow for work to Pakistani actors or artistes since such situation has created by Pakistan today, the veteran actor said while replying to the query of journalist about Salman’s comment on Pakistani artistes. 'Pakistani actors and others come later, first comes my country. I don't know anyone other than my country and would never like to know. Actors are like bed bugs in front of the country, we don't have any worth,' he added. More UNI SP NV SW SB 1527
