Riteish Deshmukh on the ban on Pakistani actors

During the exclusive interview with DNA India, Riteish reflected his views on the ban on Pakistani actors, and said, "Yeh ke bahut hi sensitive matter hai. Yeh jo ghatna hui hai, jo terror attack hua hai, the entire country is in pain. I'm sure the government is taking strict action against the perpetrators of this crime." The Masti actor admitted it's time for a strict action to be taken, "Mujhe lagta hai ki yeh bahut zaroori hai ki we take a strong stand against it. In the past, our government has shown metal against such crime."

The Ek Villain actor further asserted that such major decisions do take their own course, and we can't expect them to be implemented overnight. "Jab aisa kuch hota hai toh aap aise hi khade ho ke decision nahi le sakte ho. There are a lot of things that need to be thought through and discussed. I'm sure saare permutations combination dekh kar, they will take a decision."
