Kher's cryptic reply to Raj
Recently, Kher told Navbharat Times, "People talk according to their status. Some people have to lie all their lives, while others speak the truth. I am one of those who have spoken the truth, throughout my life. Those who want to live by lying, it's their wish (translated from Hindi)." To recall, Raj called the Agnihotri directorial a "propaganda film."
