(Right) Jackie Shroff with his son Tiger ShroffPanaji: Bollywood star Jackie Shroff feels there is nothing wrong with the ongoing intolerance debate in the country and the protests as he feels everyone in a democracy like India has the right to freedom of expression.
The 58-year-old "Brothers" star said that if people feel there is something wrong happening then they can speak up against it.
"India is the biggest democracy. We have the right to say what we want to say and people have the right to protest. If there are things that some think are are wrong, then people have the right to speak up," Shroff said.
On his "Rangeela" co-star Aamir Khans comments that his wife suggested they move out of India amid this hostile environment, Shroff said people should ask him why he said such a thing rather than jumping to hasty conclusions.
"Ask them (referring to Aamir) why they said something like that before jumping to conclusions. Respect the persons view as that is also being tolerant," Shroff commented.
