Saif Ali Khan, during a chat with his film companion Anupama Chopra, said that India is inching away from secularism with each passing day.
His latest movie Tanhaji is doing quite well at the box office.
During the interview, the actor said the idea of India didn’t even exist until the British era. He was trolled for this remark.
On the question of the ‘questionable politics’ of Tanhaji, Saif replied that he took up the role because it was ‘delicious’, but if someone says that the movie depicts the history, they are wrong.
Saif Ali Khan said that the actors remain apolitical because their statements could have serious ramifications.
