Veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah is known to speak his mind. He doesn't mince words and isn't afraid to say what's what. And that's exactly how he was in a candid chat where he spoke about being angry about the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), why he thinks Deepika Padukone's popularity won't be affected after her show of support for the students of JNU, and why he thinks Anupam Kher is a clown.

In an interview with The Wire, Naseeruddin Shah said, "I don't have a birth certificate. I cannot produce one. Does that mean we are all going to be excluded? I do not need any reassurances that Muslims don't need to worry. I am not worried. If living here for 70 years does not prove me to be an Indian, I don't know what does. I am not afraid, I am not anxious, I am angry that such a law has been imposed on us."
