The Mughals didn’t come here to loot: Naseeruddin Shah

GBNEWS24DESK//

Noted Indian actor Naseeruddin Shah is all set to appear before fans in the upcoming new web-series “Taj: Divided by Blood”. The “Krrish” famed antagonist will be diving into the history of the Mughals in this historical series, portraying the role of emperor Akbar.

In a recent interview, the actor opened up about his views of the Mughal history. He shared that people unnecessarily ‘vilify’ the Mughals as they did not come to the Indian subcontinent to loot but to make it their home.

The actor mentioned in the interview, “It amuses me because it is so utterly ridiculous. I mean, people can’t tell the difference between Akbar and a murderous invader like Nader Shah or Babar’s great-grandfather Taimur. These were people who came here to loot. The Mughals didn’t come here to loot. They came here to make this their home and that’s what they did. Who can deny their contribution?”
