“Well done Siddharth Anand (director)…. Well done India’s biggest global ambassadors. Well done those of you who made ‘Pathaan’. What we could not do, Shah Rukh Khan, Dimple Kapadia and John Abraham have shown this country. We learnt from them," the TMC leader said.

“Don’t mess with India’s biggest global ambassadors. You asked them to boycott Bollywood, they showed you one film with a beautiful message," he said.
