Anupam Kher also tweeted saying, “No matter how high the lie.. It is still small compared to the truth.” Additionally, Israeli Ambassador to India Naor Gilon wrote an open letter to Israeli filmmaker Nadav Lapid after criticizing the film at the prestigious film festival. Israel’s envoy said Nadav should be ashamed of having abused the invitation to chair the IFFI.
Envoy Naor Gilon apologized to India on Twitter. He wrote: “An open letter to #NadavLapid following his criticism of #KashmirFiles. It’s not in Hebrew because I wanted our Indian brothers and sisters to understand. It’s also relatively long so I’m going to first give you the end result. YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED. Here’s why.
