Karan Johar's SHOCKING Emotional Apology Speech Full Video HD

Filmmaker Karan Johar’s upcoming film ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’, which is facing stiff opposition from certain political parties as it stars Pakistani actor Fawad Khan, finally opened up about the whole issue in a candid video.

In the video, Karan said, “The reason I have remained silent is because of the deep sense of hurt I have felt that a few people would actually believe that I am being anti-national. I need to say this with strength that for me my country comes first. I have always felt that the best way to spread patriotism is to spread love and that’s all I have tried to do through my work and my cinema. When I shot my film ADHM last year from September to December last year, the climate was completely different. There were efforts made by our government for peaceful relations with our neighbouring country and I respected those efforts then and I respect the sentiment today. Going forward I would like to say that of course I would not engage with talent from the neighbouring country given the circumstance but please know that over 300 Indian people in my crew have put their blood, sweat and tears into my film Ae Dil Hai Mushkil and I don’t think it’s fair to them to face any kind of turbulence on account of other fellow Indians. I respect the Indian Army for everything they do to protect us and I condemn any form of terrorism especially the terrorism that would affect the people of my country and me. I hope you understand the circumstance that we are in and respect the fact that we love and respect our country over and above anything else.”

Ever since the terror attack on the Indian Army base in Uri, political parties have been threatening films which star Pakistani actors and the MNS sent a threatening message to multiplex owners, which read, “We won't let the film air even in Multiplexes as it features Pakistani actors. Multiplex owners need to stay away from airing films featuring Pakistani actors. Or else...remember how expensive your glass walls are!”



‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’, which also stars Ranbir Kapoor, Anushka Sharma and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, is slated to release this Diwali.
