Naseer, a three-time National award-winning actor, on Friday, allegedly took potshots at Kher, who has been vocal about his fight for Kashmiri Pandits, especially their rehabilitation in the Valley, saying, "A person who has never lived in Kashmir has started a fight for Kashmiri Pandits. Suddenly, he became a displaced person."
In response, Kher tweeted, "By that logic, NRIs should not think about India at all".

Does it matter who is fighting or what is he fighting for? Wud hav been glad if Naseeruddin had fought as well
Going by this logic, only Gujarathi should talk about Gujarat riots.. @AnupamPkher pic.twitter.com/rkSGFoFXpe

You don't have to be Kashmiri to fight for #KashmiriPandits plight.Every Indian should condemn the brutality and support their resettlement.

Naseer, however, denied making the statement about Kher, and told ANI that 'this is all misreporting'
