Veteran Bollywood actor Nana Patekar has come out in support of the ban on Pakistani artists in India. Nana Patekar's comments come following the ban on Pakistani actors from the industry in the wake of the Uri attack.
On Sunday, Nana Patekar told reporters,"Pakistani actors and others come later, first comes my country. I don't know anyone other than my country and would never like to know. Actors are like bed bugs in front of the country, we don't have any worth."
Nana Patekar also took a jibe at Salman Khan saying, "No hero can be better than the soldiers. We actors are just common people, the real heroes are our soldiers. Don't pay attention to what we say, don't give this much importance to any one. And those who keep on speaking, they don't deserve that much importance."
