In one of his interviews, Shah had claimed that Sindhi language is no longer spoken in Pakistan. However, after being lambasted by netizens, the actor posted a clarification note on Facebook. Shah wrote, “Two completely unnecessary controversies seem to have erupted. over things I’ve said recently. One regarding my misstatement about the Sindhi language in Pakistan. I was in error there. The second over what I’m supposed to have said about the relationship between Marathi and Farsi. My exact words were “many Marathi words are of Farsi origin.” My intention was not to run down the Marathi language but to talk of how diversity enriches all cultures Urdu itself is a mix of Hindi Farsi Turkish and Arabic. English has borrowed words from all European languages not to mention Hindustani and I suppose that is true of every language spoken on earth.”
