The recently surfaced old video lead to a heavy bashing of the Bollywood actor, at least among his own countrymen who don’t approve of his praise for Pakistan.

Some people took the comment as ambiguity of the actor’s nationalism.

Someone else mentioned that if any of the Khans (Shahrukh Khan, Aamir Khan, Salman Khan) had said something along these lines, there would have been serious backlash.

The issue of right wing groups targeting Muslims for such views was also brought up.
