Arshad Warsi addresses massive backlash over ‘joker’ comment on Prabhas: ‘I’ll love every actor for the rest of my life’

Ever since the time Bollywood actor Arshad Warsi had given his ‘opinion’ about the pan India star Prabhas, he has been in the eye of the storm. Ever since the time his take on Prabhas in the film Kalki 2898 AD became viral, Arshad Warsi found himself at the receiving end of many backlashes.

Whether the backlash he received over his 'joker' comment on Prabhas made him circumspect while speaking, Arshad Warsi opines otherwise. In a conversation with India Today, Arshad said that it was the first time he found himself on the wrong side.

While addressing the flipside and negativity of stardom, Arshad Warsi said that it was okay (for him) as everyone had their point of view and also that, it is democratic country where everyone is allowed to speak in it. He added, “If you are a positive person, anything negative does bother you. However, we have been at a place where stones are thrown, so it doesn't bother me anymore."

Those who follow him on social media had noticed the fact that, post the said controversy, Arshad Warsi had disabled the comment section on social media. When asked about it, Arshad, in plain honesty, said that he just does not even know how to do it.

And when Arshad Warsi was asked about the incident that made him be cautious about what (opinion) he tells in public domain, he said, "Absolutely, I have decided that I will love every film that I watch. I will love every actor for the rest of my life’.

For the unversed, it all started off with Arshad Warsi in an interview with YouTuber Samdish Bhatia, when he spoke about actor Prabhas’s role in the multi starrer Kalki 2898 AD. On his part, Arshad Warsi had said that, “Prabhas… I am really sad, why was he...he was like a joker. Why? I want to see Mad Max. I want to see Mel Gibson over there. Tumne usko kyaa bana diya yaar? Kyu kartey ho aisa? Mujhe nahiin samajh mein aata (What have you made of him? Why do (they) do such things? I cannot understand).
