‘Unfortunate’: Shashi Tharoor calls out Swaraj Kaushal’s defence of Anupam Kher
Hindustan TimesSenior Congress leader Shashi Tharoor has joined the Twitter tirade over the controversy involving the former governor of Mizoram Swaraj Kaushal and actors Naseeruddin Shah and Anupam Kher. Swaraj Kaushal, the husband of late Bharatiya Janata Party leader Sushma Swaraj, had in at least nine tweets berated Naseeruddin Shah for attacking Anupam Kher. Kaushal had called Naseeruddin Shah an “ungrateful and disillusioned man” and pointed out to his marriage outside his religion for criticising Anupam Sher as a “clown” and his “sycophantic nature”. Naseeruddin Shah had made his comments against Anupam Kher in an interview with The Wire as he talked about the protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act, the reaction of Bollywood celebrities, the student protests and Deepika Padukone’s decision to show solidarity.
