Veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah recently opened up about a disappointing incident when he was `disinvited` from a Mumbai University event. The actor claimed that the move was linked to his political views. Naseeruddin Shah shared that he was initially invited to attend Jashn-e-Urdu, an event organised by the Urdu Department of Mumbai University on February 1. However, he was later informed that his participation was no longer required.

Naseeruddin claimed that the university did not provide any official explanation for withdrawing the invitation. He went on to claim that the organisers publicly informed that he himself had declined to attend the programme, which he disputed. Shah stated that the decision appeared abrupt, leaving him disappointed, especially given the cultural and literary nature of the event.
