Ratna Pathak Shah talks on the Pathaan controversy row; calls it baseless

Ever since its teaser released last month, the intriguing spy thriller Pathaan has been making headlines. The film has recently made headlines for all the wrong reasons, though, as lead actress Deepika Padukone is receiving intense backlash for appearing in the song Besharam Rang while sporting a saffron bikini. The colour of the bikini offended some religious organisations.

Recently, commenting on the same Veteran actor Ratna Pathak Shah, who is renowned for speaking out strongly on such matters, recently discussed the entire controversy in an interview with IndianExpress.com. 

The Badhai Do actress deemed the entire controversy to be baseless and claimed that although many citizens of the nation lack access to food, certain trolls are fixated on another person's attire. The 65-year-old further added that we are indeed living in 'silly' times, but there is still hope that better sense will prevail among people and they will stop giving importance to non issues like these.

Talking about the workfront, Ratna Pathak Shah will soon be seen in her debut Gujarati movie Kutch Express. The movie, directed by Viral Shah also stars Manasi Parekh, Dharmendra Gohil, Darsheel Safary and Viraf Patel among others.
