They also demanded a total ban on Diljit Dosanjh's activities in India, including his concerts. As many celebs have weighed in on the issue and given their views on what they think is right, Anupam Kher has also opened up on it. The actor-director said during a chat with NDTV, 'It's his fundamental right. He has full freedom to exercise his right and he should be given freedom to exercise it. I can say from my point of view that maybe I wouldn't do what he did.' He further elaborated, 'I'd say, 'You slapped my father but you sing very well, you play very good tabla, so you come and perform at my house'. But I wouldn't be able to do that. I am not that great," he admitted. 'I won't hit him back, but I won't give him the right… The rule that I practice at my home, I practice in my country. I am not that great that I could see my family get hit or see my sister's sindoor get destroyed for art. Those who can do so, they have all the freedom. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like An engineer reveals: One simple trick to get internet without a subscription Techno Mag Learn More Undo " Meanwhile, Ajay Devgn also recently reacted to it.
