Javed Akhtar viral video: Lyricist and poet Javed Akhtar is drawing appreciation from all corners of the country for his statement at a Pakistan film festival. The popular film personality was in Lahore last week when he addressed a gathering and took people’s questions about the equation between India and Pakistan.
WHAT JAVED AKHTAR SAID ABOUT 26/11 AT AN EVENT IN PAKISTAN
In a video that is now going viral on social media, Akhtar is seen telling a Pakistani national that Indians have not forgotten the 26/11 attack or how our artistes were treated in their country despite us showing a large heart everytime they visited us here. During a gathering at the event organised to honour Urdu poet Faiz Ahmed Faiz, Akhtar was asked, “You have visited Pakistan so many times. When you go back do you tell your people that these are good people, they aren’t just bombing us but also greeting us with garlands and love (sic)?”
Answering the same, Jaadu, as he is lovingly called, said, “We should not blame each other. It will solve nothing. The atmosphere is tense, which should be doused. We are people from Mumbai, we have seen the attack on our city. They (attackers) did not come from Norway or Egypt. They are still roaming free in your country. So if there is anger in the Hindustani’s heart, you can’t complain (sic).

Akhtar also questioned the Pakistani gathering about not opening their hearts to the Indian artistes the way we did in India. He said, “When Faiz Sahab visited, he was received like a very important visitor. It was broadcast all over. We hosted big functions of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and Mehdi Hasan. You (Pakistan) never organized a function for Lata Mangeshkar (sic)?” The poet attracted claps and cheers from the gathering for his statements.
KANGANA RANAUT REACTS TO JAVED AKHTAR’S VIRAL VIDEO FROM PAKISTAN:
In a rare moment, actor Kangana Ranaut took to Twitter to praise poet Javed Akhtar after his video from Pakistan went viral on social media. The actor took to Twitter on Tuesday noon and shared the poet’s video, and praised his statement as he reminded the Pakistani citizens about the ghastly 26/11 Mumbai attacks at an event in their country.
In a long tweet, Kangana said she would always wonder about Akhtar being so blessed by Goddess Saraswati and it was only after this incident that she realised why did he have Her blessings. The Thalaivi star wrote, “Jab main Javed saab ki poetry sunti hoon toh lagta tha yeh kaise Maa Swarsati ji ki in pe itni kripa hai, lekin dekho kuch toh sachchai hoti hai insaan mein tabhi toh khudai hoti hai unke saath mein … Jai Hind @Javedakhtarjadu saab… Ghar mein ghuss ke maara .. ha ha (sic).”

कहन में आँसू से भी गहरी अवस्था का नाम है “शायरी”!
तल्ख़ हालातों के बावजूद भी एक शायर लाहौर जाकर अपने ख़म को कह देता है, और लोग उसे Warm Greetings के साथ स्वीकार करते हैं. यह तमीज़ सिर्फ साहित्य को हासिल है, सियासत को नहीं.
