The 67-year-old actor has often made headlines for his controversial statements.

Back in 2017, National Conference supremo Farooq Abdullah claimed that Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) belongs to Pakistan and this won't change no matter how many wars India and Pakistan fight against each other.

Agreeing to the same, the Bollywood legend, who was very active on the micro-blogging site Twitter said, "Farooq Abdullah ji, Salaam! Totally agree with you sir. Jammu and Kashmir is ours, and PoK is theirs. This is the only way we can solve our problem. Accept it, I am 65-years-old and I want to see Pakistan before I die. I want my children to see their roots. Bas karva dijiye. Jai Mata Di!"
