Controversy | In April 2006, he attracted controversy after he allegedly delivered an anti-Pakistan statement when he was on a visit to Lahore as a part of a delegation for the release of his brother Akbar Khan's film Taj Mahal. Reportedly, while interacting with the daily newspaper in Pakistan, he said, "I am a proud Indian. India is a secular country. Muslims there are making a lot of progress. Our President is a Muslim, Prime Minister a Sikh. Pakistan was made in the name of Islam but look how the Muslims are killing each other." Later, President Pervez Musharraf banned him to enter the country. |
