Naseeruddin Shah recalls his role in Pakistani movie 'Khuda Kay Liye'

MUMBAI (Dunya News) – Indian veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah has recalled his minor but crucial role in the Pakistani film ‘Khuda Kay Liye’ after almost 13 years. In an interview, the actor said, “It is not always the character but what the intention behind telling the story is that matters the most.” “If Khuda Kay Liye were about glorifying the Taliban, I would have not come on board to be part of the story,” Shah recalled. “Coming from a very orthodox Muslim family, as a child, I was told that Islam is the greatest religion and all non-Muslims are kaafirs. But those thoughts used to disturb me as a growing adult. We do not choose our parents and the religion we are born into. And why should music be banned?” He concluded, “All those questions were addressed in Khuda Kay Liye. As an actor, I had to agree with the ideology that the story was showing, not necessarily the character that I was portraying.”
