Open hate in society is disturbing, says Naseeruddin Shah

TIL Desk Bollywood/ Actor Naseeruddin Shah on Saturday said he stands by his remarks on mob violence incidents and is disturbed by “open hate” in the society.

Last year, the 69-year-old veteran, referring to the recent spate of mob violence incidents, had said that at many places the death of a cow is being given more importance than the killing of a policeman.

Shah, who was in conversation with actor Anand Tiwari at the India Film Project, was responding to a question about whether his views about political and social issues has adversely affected his ties with film fraternity.
