Veteran lyricist Javed Akhtar has reacted to singer Lucky Ali calling him "ugly" over his remark telling Hindus not to "become like Muslims". "I must take his opinion with a pinch of salt...I don't agree with it. But anyway, I'm happy to know he has opinions," said Akhtar. Lucky had written on X, "Don't become like Javed Akhtar, never original."
