“Majority has been proactively supportive, there is euphoria for our films, there is love and unconditional support. I would refuse to believe that entertainment has not crossed boundaries and not connected people when it was not really possible due to the political environment and bureaucracy,” the Ki & Ka star shared.

He added, “This is one such time where today emotions have resonated and people are coming together and leaving aside borders and whatever the political scenario might have been one or two years ago.” Kapoor continued, “Today, people are not thinking about what the situation was but are dealing with what the situation is. I respect that and I regard that and I hope it is not forgotten. After six months, things will get better; we might want to go back to certain postures about the way we believe.”

He also talked about how Pakistan stood beside Indian during its COVID-19 emergency. “But that is where humanity has to grow and mature and evolve and you should not forget that in the time of need there was a helping hand and that should be respected in the bigger picture. We do realise that the situation is not about the people, it’s about the environment that is created and that has a certain diplomatic, bureaucratic and political turn,” said Arjun Kapoor.

He said that the only rivalry that exists between the two countries is in the field of cricket.
“People are not adverse to each other except when cricket happens. That’s it – which is also where Neena (Gupta) ma’am’s character in the film comes in. Except for cricket, we have friendship and I just hope that friendship is kept alive and maintained.” The actor hoped that the “distance and vacuum that has been created goes away and we can co-exist with peace and that is what Sardar Ka Grandson also deals with: peace.”
