Pallavi Joshi got hurt by Naseeruddin Shah’s comments and told Journalists that she read about #NaseeruddinShah’s comments and would like to request him to watch the film and then ‘say whatever he has to say’. She added that The Kashmir Files is not the kind of film Naseeruddin Shah believes it to be and his perspective may change after watching the film.
