Paresh Rawal Breaks Silence On Hera Pheri 3 Controversy

The alleged fallout between Paresh Rawal and the Hera Pheri 3 franchise has been resolved now, apparently. During a podcast with Himanshu Mehta, Paresh Rawal recently addressed the entire fiasco.

When the host asked him about the entire controversy, the veteran actor replied saying that there was "no controversy". The 70-year-old answered, "Nahi, controversy kuchh nahi hai. Kya hota hai ki jab cheez itni logon ko bhaati hai, tab we have to be extra careful. It is our responsibility for the audience. Ki audience baithi hai aapko itna pyaar karti hai. You can't take things for granted. Mehnat karke unko do. Toh mera ye hi hai ki sab aaye saath mein, mehnat karein. Aur kuchh nahi. But ye kuchh hua nahi hai. It is all resolved now. (No, there is no controversy. What happens is that when something is loved by so many people, we have to be extra careful. It is our responsibility towards the audience. The audience loves you so much, you can't take that for granted. You have to give them your best through hard work. So, my view is that everyone should come together and work hard. Nothing else. But nothing has actually happened. It is all resolved now)."
