Bollywood star Akshay Kumar says he would not not like to comment on what Naseeruddin Shah said about his late father-in-law Rajesh Khanna as the veteran actor has already apologised.
"It's ok. Everything is over now, he (Naseeruddin) apologised. Let's move on," Akshay said in an interview, when asked about Shah's comments on Khanna.
"He apologised and it's over. There is nothing so don't try to get something from me so that you (media) can write something," the "Special 26" actor added.
Naseeruddin had called Khanna a "poor actor" who mediocrity in the '70s.
Akshay, however, says the matter should be buried now.
"Let the industry be together... When someone has apologised, you should be gracious enough to say it's over," he added.
