Salman’s father thinks Naseer is ‘Frustrated’ and ‘Bitter’
Here's the latest update from the world of Bollywood. We bet you wouldn't want to miss this. Read on for details... Controversy around the actor’s Rajesh Khanna comment refuses to die down
Naseeruddin Shah stirred a huge
controversy recently, when he referred to Rajesh Khanna as a ‘mediocre actor’.
The comment evoked an almost immediate backlash from Twinkle Khanna, who
lambasted the senior actor for defaming her late father.
However, Naseeruddin Shah apologised
profusely soon after and peace prevailed. Or so we thought. A short while ago
however, Salim Khan stoked the controversy once again, with a series of tweets.
He said, “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. Frustration and bitterness
are difficult to cure but carrying the same for such a long time is unheard of.”
Ouch! Words do sting. And what is
that statement about “frustration and bitterness being difficult to cure”? Isn’t Salim Khan calling Naseeruddin Shah
frustrated and bitter, albeit indirectly?
To go back to the beginning, the
whole controversy had started when, during a media interview, the A Wednesday
actor said, “Nothing has changed in Bollywood. It is the same as it was 50
years ago. The photography and editing is better but the subjects are as
puerile as they were in the 70’s. In fact, it was the 70’s 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.”
