Anupam Kher opened up about his spat with Naseeruddin Shah, which happened after Deepika Padukone's JNU visit in 2020. "He commented something about having it in my blood, it was important for me to reply while also keeping his dignity alive," said Anupam. Naseeruddin had called Anupam a "clown" and "sycophant", adding, "It's in his blood, he can't help it."
