Kher has distinct worldview, I respect that: Mahesh Bhatt on different idealogies

Filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt says his and actor Anupam Kher's political ideologies may differ but that hasn't come in between their friendship.

Kher had made his debut in Bhatt's 1984 directorial "Saaransh" and the duo have been friends ever since. Both, however, share a different political ideology, often even coming to loggerheads with each other on TV debates.

When asked about it, Bhatt told reporters, "I'd like you to keep wondering, what is it that keeps us together irrespective of our totally different political idealogies. I remember there was a TV interview before 2014 elections, where the anchor tried to pitch us together and he (Kher) took me on and disagreed with me. But that's what Anupam Kher is."
"I think that's my success that I do not inhibit him in anyway. That's what free societies and homes are. Love is not dependent on the diverse views that you may have, why can't we live under that sky where we may disagree vehemently but retain the elemental love and affection that is essential for the survival of the human race."
