Saif Ali Khan Says He Is Not Against The People Of Pakistan

Saif Ali Khan’s controversial statements after his film Phantom was banned in Pakistan has aroused a lot of negative comments about him from people in Pakistan. Recently while talking to NDTV Saif Ali Khan said, “I don’t know if I should say this but I was upset with the action in Pakistan and how upset they’re getting and I seem to have become the face of ‘anti-Pakistan feeling’.”

He also said that he has always wanted Pakistan and India to have good ties. “This, I’m a little concerned about. Because my politics is the last thing that should become the question and for sure not against the people of Pakistan, I have absolutely nothing, except goodwill and hope that we manage to fix our problems,” said the actor.

Kabir Khan, who directed Phantom was also present for the interview in which he said, “It’s (Phantom) a mission film quite simply. If you take the India and Pakistan element out of it – I didn’t want to say this during the promotion – but it’s actually a very simplistic mission film. The political element has given it some controversial edge.”

It appears to be that Saif Ali Khan has realized that his statements were insensitive and he wants to mend fences.
