# Anupam Kher Responds to Resurfaced Video of Naseeruddin Shah's Critical Comments
Actor Anupam Kher has responded to a six-year-old video in which fellow actor Naseeruddin Shah called him a "clown." The resurfaced remarks came after Kher recently made comments about the Ayodhya Ram Temple, where he dismissed a reported theft as a minor issue compared to historical temple destructions. Kher's statement on the temple incident drew online criticism and trolling.
In his response, Kher stated that he and Naseeruddin Shah respect each other and have met recently. He emphasized that his career achievements are the result of hard work and divine grace, and he characterized the trolling as an attempt to target him personally. The resurfacing of Shah's 2020 interview remarks coincided with the public reaction to Kher's Ram Mandir comments, linking the two controversies together in online discourse.
