Writer-thinker-poet-lyricist Javed Akhtar has repeatedly reiterated that he is an atheist. Now, a mischievous, extremely damaging video has surfaced on the internet showing Javed Akhtar wearing a cap and converting to Islam.
Javed Akhtar to take legal action against makers of fake video showing him converting to Islam: “I won’t let it slide”
And Javed Saheb is not happy. “Who does all this? Who are these people (who are these people)? They should be taught a lesson. Religious belief is a very personal matter. It is a private equation between man and God. It is inviolable especially when one has no relationship with God. I do not. So who are you to create an equation between me and the Creator?”
Javed Sahab has decided to take strict legal action against the culprits of this unauthorized video. “We too often let such mischief – and that’s a mild word, it’s much more harmful – go out of sight. That’s wrong. It only encourages troublemakers to be more daring. I won’t let it go out of sight.”
