Karan Johar, Salman Khan and few other biggies are against banning Pakistani actors from acting in Indian films. But none of them uttered anything disrespecting the Indian army. 

But to the shock of many, senior Bollywood actor Om Puri said that it is unfair to ban Pakistani artists and also took a dig at the Uri Martyrs saying that, no one asked the soldiers to join the army and pick the weapons. 

Not stopping there, the senior actor also said, "Do you want India-Pakistan enmity to turn like Israel and Palestine, and fight for ages? India is home to crores of Muslims, there is no point in proving them for war. Several Indians have their relatives staying across the border and vice-versa, how can they fight a war with their cross-border families."

These comments came as a shock and the first one from the film industry to criticize Om Puri was Anupam Kher. "Dear #OmPuri ji. Mai aapki bahut izzat karta hoon. Lekin kal tv per desh ke sainik ke baare mein aapki baat sunkar bahut DUKH hua. #VerySad", he tweeted.

Several other twitteratis, busted at Om Puri, abusing him on the social media.
