Actor, MP Shabana Azmi stirred a hornet’s nest when in an interview to a private TV channel; she stated that Indian democracy was unfair to Muslims. Expectedly, her remark angered the hardliner Hindus but a certain section among the Muslims too disagreed with her. Foremost among them is Shabana’s colleague from Bollywood Naseeruddin Shah. In an exclusive interview to NDTV 24X7, acclaimed actor Naseeruddin Shah reacted to Shabana's statement stating that he thinks "the less we nurse this persecution thing, the better it will be."
