I will support if you think banning anything to do with Pakistan is going to help our jawans.Abhay Deol is one of those personalities, who is straightforward and doesn’t care to mince his words while talking to the media. The actor attended MAMI festival recently, and made some strong points when asked what he thought about the ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’ controversy.
