Bollywood actor Anupam Kher said on Friday he wanted the focus to shift from ‘kranti’ to ‘desh bhakti’, as he spoke at the Jawaharlal Nehru University amid allegations that anti-national slogans were shouted at the university on 9 February.

On Friday, Kher was speaking ahead of the screening of his movie Buddha in a Traffic Jam. Kher has earlier created controversy when he alleged that the university authorities had denied permission to screen his film.
