Actors Have a Right to Express Their Opinion on Issues: Irrfan


4th February 2016

Irrfan Khan is the latest Bollywood actor who has put out his views on the freedom of expression' issue, which came up after Aamir Khan and Shah Rukh Khan were criticised for speaking on tolerance in India.

I find it very strange when few people say that actors should act and they should not express their opinions on issues. Everybody has the right to speak their mind and concerns. If you are told to shut up then this is not a sign of a growing and healthy society.
Irrfan Khan

Speaking at the NDTV Indian of the Year event on Tuesday night, the 49-year-old actor added that, expressing one's opinion is an individual prerogative.

Some people have an instinct of reacting on things while some people don't. When Ang Lee came here, he was asked about his country's politics. And he said we don't speak about politics. This issue has been in news. We should feel safe to say whatever we want to say. We should be free to express ourselves.
Irrfan Khan

Irrfan who was last seen in Talvar, will next be in Ron Howard's Inferno with Tom Hanks.
