The Apology
Shah acknowledged his lack of knowledge on the subject and openly admitted his mistake through a post on Facebook. He stated that he sincerely apologizes to the entire Sindhi-speaking population of Pakistan, whom he had deeply offended with his misguided opinion. Furthermore, Shah also had something to say for himself. He questioned whether it was necessary to face such severe criticism for his error, quoting Jesus by saying, “Let him who is free from…” The actor then concluded his Facebook post by sarcastically saying that he found amusement in being labeled as “ignorant” and a “pretend intellectual” after years of being mistaken for an intelligent person.
His Original Statements
Naseeruddin Shah made these “ill-informed” comments during a promotional interview for his latest television series, Taj. In the interview, he claimed that Pakistan no longer spoke Sindhi, claiming that they primarily spoke Balochi, Bari, Siraiki, and Pushto. Along with the Pakistani social media users, Pakistani actress Mansha Pasha, Yasir Nawaz and Danish Nawaz also defended the Sindhi language. Along with her the Nawaz brothers also sarcastically humored Naseeruddin Shah.
