At the end of the day, if you have any issues with me, right or wrong, the issue should end with me. I don’t feel it has to pass on to anybody else. I am here for you to be able to talk to.”
Farhan added, “Also, I do feel that if there is any criticism that has to come your way when it comes wrapped up in any kind of abuse, bigotry, or prejudice, how can you take that seriously?”
Continuing with his views on the topic, the 47 years old actor said that a person revealing how hateful they are shows him how ugly or dirty-minded they are, specifically, tells him a lot about them. “At the end of the day, a person revealing how hateful they are, it shows me how ugly they are. It tells me very little about me but a lot about them.”
Akhtar further added, “If you want to have a conversation about something and discuss it and even maybe change my mind about something, I am more than happy for my thoughts to get changed if it’s a respectable conversation. There’s a classic saying that ‘Never wrestle with a pig because you will get dirty but the pig loves it'(laughs) So that’s what it is,”
