Amid growing voices from a section of politicians and film bodies to stall the release of ADHM or erase sections that has Fawad in it, Mr Johar, said: âI beseech you to know one thing…that over 300 Indian people in my crew have put their blood, sweat and tears in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil and I donât think it’s fair to them to face any kind of turbulence on account of other fellow Indiansâ.
After facing backlash on social media with abusing him and calling him âanti-nationalâ, âcowardâ and âFawad Khanâs wifeâ, Mr Johar said that he stayed silent because he felt a âdeep sense of hurt and painâ to be questioned about his patriotism.
âToday I would like to clarify that the reason why I remained silent is because of the deep sense of hurt and pain that I felt. There are few people who actually believe that I am being anti-national. I need to say this and I say this with strength that for me my country comes first,â the popular filmmaker said.
