In an exclusive chat with HT City, actor Naseeruddin Shah has reacted to Farhan Akhtar calling his past comments “distasteful”, saying that his remarks about Farhan’s performance in the 2013 film Bhaag Milkha Bhaag were exaggerated by the media. Farhan Akhtar and Naseeruddin Shah “He is right but I think my statement has been exaggerated a bit,” he tells us. When we ask which bits were exaggerated, the 75-year-old adds, “I don’t think you need to be a genius to figure that out! Read both statements.” Also read: Shabana Azmi trashes Naseeruddin’s opinion on Bhaag Milkha Bhaag In 2013, Naseer had stirred controversy with his blunt take on Farhan’s performance in Bhaag Milkha Bhaag: “I don’t care about Farhan Akhtar, and I don’t watch his films. I liked his first film, ‘Dil Chahta Hai’. He’s a tremendous person and has so many facets to him. Tomorrow I won’t be surprised if I hear that he cooked a 10-course meal to perfection. He sings, acts, produces films and writes. I think it’s great he’s doing whatever …

Back in 2013, veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah was brutal with his opinion of Farhan Akhtar’s Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, which was based on the life of Olympian Milkha Singh. At the time, Naseer had said, “I don’t care about Farhan Akhtar, and I don’t watch his films.” In a recent interaction with India TV, Farhan responded to Naseeruddin Shah’s old comments and called his public criticism “distasteful.” Farhan pointed out that since he had known Naseer from childhood, the remark deeply disappointed him. “I have known him for so many years. We worked together in Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara. He knows me ever since I was a child. He is a great performer and a great actor, but the only thing that I didn’t like was that if you want me to improve in my work, then there is a way of communicating that.” Calling Naseer’s approach of correcting him “distasteful,” Farhan added, “I would have picked up a phone and told the person to come home. I have watched your film and I found these …

Farhan Akhtar wears many hats.

In fact, what’s keeping him busy currently is performing his original English songs for the first time live in Mumbai. People have come to love his unique, husky voice. But initially, as he admits, the response to it was a “mixed bag”. He tells us, “There are some people who liked it, and there were also some who didn’t like it. That is part and parcel of life. You can’t expect everyone to love everything you do all the time. That is not going to happen. I really don’t know what to comment on how people feel about it, this is the voice I have been given.” The 48-year-old adds that he is happy people like it now. “What’s important is that over time, I feel the love of people wherever I go.
