Veteran actor Anupam Kher, who was last seen in Vivek Agnihotri’s film The Kashmir Files, now joins the ongoing row of the country’s national emblem controversy. The National award-winning actor who is well known for being active on social media weighs in on the controversy.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi unveiled the National Emblem on the new Parliament building on Monday, July 11. Opposition parties have claimed that the national emblem has been changed calling the lions ‘aggressive, muscular’ instead of the ‘calm, graceful’ lions in the Sarnath capital.
This has caused a huge uproar on social media that led many to share their opinion on the controversy. Joining in on the controversy, Anupam Kher took to Twitter and wrote, “Arre bhai! sher ke daant honge toh dikhaayega hi! Aakhir kaar swatantra bharat ka sher hai . Zaroorat padi toh kaat bhi sakta hai. Jai Hind!”

The Veteran actor shared the tweet along with the video of the national emblem that he shot at the Pradhan Mantri Sangrahalya in Delhi. Take a look at the tweet below:
अरे भाई! शेर के दांत होंगे तो दिखाएगा ही! आख़िरकार स्वतंत्र भारत का शेर है। ज़रूरत पड़ी तो काट भी सकता है! जय हिंद! 🙏🇮🇳🙏 Video shot at #PrimeMinistersSangrahlaya pic.twitter.com/cMqM326P2C
