Om echoed thoughts of millions at Ramlila: Kher

August 29, 2011 18:34

Actor Anupam Kher has come out in support of Om Puri, who is facing wrath of the politicians for making derogatory remarks against them at the Ramlila Maidan.

"I stand by Om Puri who merely echoed publicly what is openly said a million times in millions of homes every day. He apart from being an outstanding actor, is also a true Indian who echoed thoughts of millions of us. I stand by him," Kher tweeted.

The 61-year-old Bollywood veteran had made a no holds barred attack on politicians at Ramlila maidan on Friday where Anna Hazare was on the 11th day of his fast. However, Puri has apologised, saying he went overboard
with his words.
