Never said I wanted to work in Pakistani films: Paresh Rawal

Don't get excited about Paresh Rawal's Pakistani film debut yet.

The Bollywood actor has spoken up about his recently viral statement, in which he expressed his desire to work in Pakistani films and TV and called Indian TV dramas "boring". He's saying he's been misquoted.

According to Bombay Times, he's said, "I never said I want to work in Pakistani films, neither it is my wish. I want to categorically state this. I have been misquoted."

He went on to add, "I just said that I liked Pakistan's TV serial Humsafar, but never said ours are boring. I only said ours are a little slow."

Oops, looks like Rawal must be feeling the heat of the backlash! We wonder whether he was really misquoted or is being forced to eat his words?
