First
it
was
Shahrukh
Khan
and
now
Amitabh
Bachchan
has
become
the
latest
Bollywood
stars
to
come
in
support
of
Pakistani
players
for
the
Indian
Premier
League.
Bachchan
who
was
a
Guest
Editor
at
CNN-IBN
to
promote
his
latest
movie
Rann
said
"At
some
stages,
it
does
look
disappointing.
For
many
people
who
admire
cricket
and
since,
there
are
so
many
good
players
in
Pakistan,
this
should
not
have
happened,"
Bachchan
also
said
“But
then
there
is
this
whole
business
of
this
(IPL)
being
a
business
and
being
privately
run,
politics
of
the
nation,
which
is
on
a
large
scale,
is
brought
into
this
and
I
think
that
is
not
valid," He
also
added
"I
am
myself
involved
in
a
campaign
that
talks
about
Aman
ki
asha
(hope
for
peace)
where
we
are
trying
to
exchange
people
from
both
the
countries,
weather
it's
in
the
field
of
creativity
or
sports
or
journalism
where
we
have
debates
and
talk
to
people,"
remarked
the
senior
actor.
Shahrukh
who
also
owns
the
Kolkata
Knight
Riders
in
the
IPL
was
the
first
Bollywood
celebrity
come
out
in
support
of
Pakistani
cricketers
and
had
said
“They
are
the
champions,
they
are
wonderful
but
somewhere
down
the
line
there
is
an
issue
and
we
can't
deny
it.
We
are
known
to
invite
everyone.
We
should
have.
If
there
were
any
issues,
they
should
have
been
put
on
board
earlier.
Everything
can
happen
respectfully,"
