MUMBAI – In a fervent stand against divisive rhetoric targeting Indian Muslims, actor Sheezan Khan has taken to social media to condemn actor Mohit Abrol’s controversial remarks. Mohit Abrol’s comments, which delved into the perspectives of Indian Muslims on the Palestine issue, sparked outrage and concern from various quarters. Sheezan Khan, known for his commitment to unity and tolerance, wasted no time in expressing his strong disapproval.
Using his substantial social media platform, Sheezan Khan shared a screenshot of Mohit Abrol’s statements, accompanied by a powerful message denouncing the divisive comments. He emphasized the importance of refraining from making sweeping generalizations about Indian Muslims based on the actions or beliefs of a few individuals, asserting that such generalizations are unjust.
Notably, Sheezan Khan identified himself as both a Muslim and an Indian, highlighting the significance of his dual allegiance. This identity, he explained, underlined his commitment to fostering unity within the country and transcending divisive sentiments. In his social media post addressing Mohit Abrol, Sheezan Khan minced no words, characterizing the statement as “pure hate speech.” He called upon Mohit Abrol to refrain from spreading such divisive content and reminded him of his responsibility as a public figure.
Sheezan Khan’s passionate condemnation of inappropriate comments targeting the Muslim community resonated deeply with his followers.

In a video message, Sheezan Khan further expanded on his views, stating, “So the last story that I uploaded makes me sad that being a public figure, an educated man. Being someone who was born in the 21st century and is from India has got such kind of thinking is just very sad. And if you have got some personal issue with Muslims, then that is a different scenario. But coming out in public and making such kind of statement and hate speech, I don’t think that is necessary. And as a public figure, few responsibilities fall on your shoulders.”
Sheezan Khan concluded his message by promising to provide additional updates on the matter, indicating his commitment to addressing issues related to unity, tolerance, and respectful discourse.
