Sr Bachchan also stated that he will in fact not be running for President after former co-star Shatrughan Sinha’s “childish” suggestion of pitching his name for the position.

He also spoke about the rising tension at the borders: “People of this country are very angry by the incidents that have been happening at our borders. It’s time to show solidarity towards our jawans & armed forces who are sacrificing their lives so that you & me can be safe.” He refused to comment on the issue of banning Pakistani actors owing to increased acrimony with Pakistan.
