"Don’t know how much you can criticise your govt in India, somebody might kill you" : Saif Ali Khan

Netflix India’s latest venture Sacred Games, starring Saif Ali Khan, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Radhika Apte, is an honest representation of political dynamics in India, or so the critics say.

While the show has been receiving praises for its content from foreign media, it has also found itself gripped in some controversies back home. Case in point: the derogatory remarks towards Rajiv Gandhi made in the show.

About this, Saif – the protagonist of Sacred Games – remarked how some might even get killed for disagreeing with the government.

“I don’t know how much you can criticise your government in India, somebody might kill you,” he told The Quint.

The Dil Chahta Hai star went on to add that in some parts of India, a person can be killed if they choose to date someone from a different caste. He, himself, has been trolled for marrying Kareena Kapoor – a Hindu.

“If you date someone from the wrong caste, somebody will kill you in some parts of India. That’s just the way it is,” said Saif. “We are at the edge but we try and make interesting things. It’s frustrating when somebody tries to pull it down. Let’s hope justice and some better sense prevails here.”

I don't like Saif Ali Khan but he speaks his mind and doesn't come off as fake. He openly supported eugenics and talked smack about Pakistan and how he can't buy a house in India cause of his faith. He just says what's on his mind.

Noble words. lets see how you reflected on the thread on his movie "fantom"
 
I think just a matter of time when it happens. Within 3 years there would be a big name assassinated because of being too critical of the national opinion.

May be Pakistan and India will then become friends since we will then be like China!
 
If criticizing the government gets you killed, India would have solved its population problem long ago as I am yet to meet an Indian who doesn't criticize the BJP or Congress.
 
Well statements like these will score and creates the publicity for the show.
 
Poor guy being hounded by congress. The pataudis have had issues with the congress since Indira Gandhi's time.
