Sayani Gupta took on Fan (2016) co-star Shah Rukh Khan for keeping mum about the current events in the film industry as well as in the country. On Friday, to mark Gandhi Jayanti, the superstar urged everyone to encourage children to follow Bapu's teachings. He tweeted, "One ideal we would like our children to follow should be—hear no bad, see no bad and speak no bad. Remembering the value of truth on Gandhiji's birth anniversary." (sic)

In response, the Four More Shots Please! actor urged him to "say something... the right thing. Gandhi also taught us to speak up for the truth, the downtrodden, the exploited and for our Dalit brothers and sisters. Don't just shut your ears, eyes and mouths." (sic)
