If SRK has to, then Amitabh should also apologise: Raj Thackeray

Spicezee Bureau

Mumbai: There is more than just their superstar status that Amitabh and Shah Rukh have in common. Both the actors are also facing flak for their perceived support to Pakistani players and artist. So while Shiv Sena is rebuking Shah Rukh Khan for his support of Pakistani cricketers, the MNS has once again found a target in superstar Amitabh Bachchan over his friendliness with the Pakistani artists. Call it sheer politics or limelight gorging antics, but MNS and Shiv Sena have once again locked horns using Bollywood personalities as pawns. Speaking at a press conference, MNS chief Raj Thackaray took a direct dig at the Shiv Sena calling its ‘revolt’ against SRK as mere ‘drama’. And even though the party declared that it’s not going to support the Sena in its campaign against SRK, it added fuel to the fire by bringing megastar Amitabh’s friendly allegiance with Pakistan to the fore. Speaking about Amitabh, Raj said, “Amitabh Bachchan shared the podium with a Pakistani poet recently. Why wasn’t he made to aplogise?” Targeting the Sena, Raj further said, “They are demanding an apology from Khan for his remarks on Pakistani players. But Bachchan was seen a couple of days ago sharing the dais with Pakistani artistes and reciting poems. If Khan has to apologise, then why not Bachchan.”
