Pakistani actor Shaan’s uncompromising views on Pakistani actors working in Bollywood are common knowledge.
Around three years ago, the two ended up getting mired in a very public spat over the very issue. When Ali Zafar was felicitated at an event back then, he presented a fitting reply to Shaan who had used the occasion to assail Pakistanis working in Bollywood as “cheap sell-outs”.
“Hum doosri cheezon ka sahaara letay hain apni khaamion ko chupane ke liye, patriotism ke naam pae, doosri cheezon ke naam pae…I think we should be honest. Humain sach bolna chahiye aur woh waqt agaya hai ke anay walay logon se sach bola jaaye,” Ali had remarked over his acceptance speech.
Looks like the two have now made peace.
According to media sources, Shaan has apologised to Ali and explained that his comments had been misinterpreted. Shaan also posted a picture and some videos of the two jamming on his official Facebook account.
Much to our delight, Coke Studio star Momina Mustehsan and Shiraz Uppal were also present on the occasion.
