I have the right to speak about any community, any issue; I can talk about Punjabis, Tamil, Muslims and not just about Kashmiris. I don’t have to provide a bonafide certificate to anyone. Being a Kashmiri, I have the right to speak about them as they are living as refugees in their own country.”     All the spotlights went on the two actors when Shah reportedly took a potshot at the ' Saaransh' actor during the promotion of his new flick 'Waiting.'   ALSO READ: VIRAL SACH: 91-year-old doctor treating women for free for the past 68 years   He questioned the authenticity of Kher's campaign for Kashmiri Pandits, saying "A person who has never lived in Kashmir has started a fight for Kashmiri Pandits.
