We wonder what made him change his mind!!
The 64 years old actor got slammed by multiple Twitteratis talking about “Bollywood’s obsession with Pakistan”. The ‘Kapoor & Sons’ star’s plea comes to light in the fact that no Pakistani cricketer has featured in the Indian Premier League (IPL) after its inaugural season in 2008. The subsequent season (IPL 2), all eleven Pakistani players were barred and withdrawn from their franchise teams, and none have participated since.
After this tweet as well, he was slammed by some Twitteratis.

Mind your language young lady! Surely your parents did not teach you to speak to elders this way? https://t.co/btm5Kn8fQj

I was talking about your language not morality. Perhaps that’s the way you address elders there https://t.co/augGKGwTfK
