Anupam Kher On Nadav Lapid Statement: Anupam Kher publicly criticized IFFI jury head Nadav Lapid for calling 'The Kashmir Files' 'vulgar' and 'propaganda' from the closing ceremony stage. But expressed deep regret and criticized him a lot for this statement in the interview given to ABP News.

 

Anupam Kher said, "When the jury head said all this, I was not there, otherwise I would have climbed on the dais and silenced him." Making such a statement by any filmmaker cannot be justified. Anupam Kher said that this whole statement was well-planned and pre-planned and the film has been attacked under a conspiracy. The agenda of the Toolkit gang has been taken forward and the Toolkit gang is very happy with this statement.

 

Israeli filmmaker insulted humanity - Anupam Kher

Anupam Kher said that for those who were not happy before the release of the film, the statement of the jury head has been given to please them only. He said that by making a statement, the Israeli filmmaker has not only insulted Kashmiri Pandits, Hindus, and all humanity but has also insulted all the people killed in this tragedy.

 

Anupam Kher has cited the good relations between Israel and India while welcoming the strong criticism of the Israeli filmmaker's statement by the Israeli Ambassador to India. Anupam Kher said that I spoke to Vivek on this issue and I told him "how to control my anger". Vivek interviewed many people for the film, this is my biography.

 

Israeli Consul General in Mumbai Kobi Shoshani:

Kobi also strongly criticized the Israeli filmmaker's statement. Quoting the relations between India and Israel, Kobi said that he should have avoided such rhetoric and his attitude on such a prestigious platform is completely condemnable. Kobi said that I had seen the film 'The Kashmir Files' and I liked this film very much, which describes the pain of Kashmiri Pandits with full intensity. Kobi said that these are personal statements of Nadav Lapid and that Israel as a country does not agree with the statement of the Israeli filmmaker.
