In his recent interview to the Hindustan Times, Shah had stated that nothing has changed in Bollywood in the past 50 years except in the fields of photography and editing. He went on to add that "..it was the 70’s when mediocrity came in Hindi films. That’s when the actor called Rajesh Khanna joined the industry. For all his success, I think Mr Khanna was a very limited actor. In fact, he was a poor actor. Intellectually, he wasn’t the most alert person I have ever met. His taste ruled the industry,” reported HT.
Reacting to the above, Twinkle Khanna had tweeted :
Sir if u can't respect the living ,respect the dead-mediocrity is attacking a man who can't respond @NaseerudinShah https://t.co/4EdyWmwiNj
