Lyricist-writer Gulzar on Tuesday refused to comment on the ongoing tensions between India and Pakistan. He was attending the music launch of a new animated film where he was asked for his views on the feud between the two countries.
But Gulgazr asked the media persons to "be relevant to the occasion”.
He said: "Is this (question) relevant to the programme for which we have come? Aap agar shaadi mein jaao, aur baat Frontier ki karne lage, theek lagega? (If you go for a wedding, and talk about the Frontier, will it look nice?)... Be relevant to the occasion."
Notably, the tension between India and Pakistan has escalated in the last fortnight after the Uri attacks and subsequent surgical strike by India army in retaliation.
While Gulzar chose not to comment on the issue, several Bollywood film celebrities have condemned the September 18 attack in Jammu and Kashmir which killed 19 soldiers.
