Naseeruddin Shah is one of the finest actors in bollywood and almost all the actors of this industry admire him and get inspired by him. But it looks like this time he has created some controversies with his introvert nature.

In a recent interview, Naseeruddin Shah indirectly blamed Rajesh Khanna for bringing in mediocrity in films. In an interview with Hindustan times, Naseeruddin Shah said,

“It was the 70’s when mediocrity came in Hindi films. That’s when the actor called Rajesh Khanna joined the industry. For all his success, I think Mr Khanna was a very limited actor. In fact, he was a poor actor. Intellectually, he wasn’t the most alert person I have ever met. His taste ruled the industry,” says Shah about Khanna, who gave hits such as Aradhana (1969), Haathi Mere Saathi (1971) and Anand (1971).”

Slyly commenting on Rajesh Khanna and the ‘godly’ status he achieved, Naseeruddin Shah said,

‘The quality of script, acting, music and lyrics deteriorated. Colour came in. You could make a heroine wear a purple dress and hero a red shirt, go to Kashmir and make a movie. You didn’t need a story. This trend continued and I certainly think Mr Khanna had something to do with it because he was God in those days.”

And clearly all this things did not get well with the daughter of the legendary actor, so without waiting any time twinkle took to twitter to say :

Sir if u can't respect the living ,respect the dead-mediocrity is attacking a man who can't respond @NaseerudinShah https://t.co/4EdyWmwiNj

And this is how karan  Johar joined twinkle to share his views:

I agree with you @mrsfunnybones…due respect to seniority but this was in exceptionally bad taste and not becoming of a fraternity member..
