Salman Khan has created the controversy with his anti war comment during the promotion of his film, "People who order war should be asked to go to war themselves. Take this gun and go to war. (They will realise it) and it will get over in a day. They will tremble and shake and they will eventually take the route of dialogues and discussions."

Sohail now has come out in support of Salman, "A lot of importance is given to actors' comments on such issues. I am not sure if people from this industry have the knowledge to talk about politics with such depth. What Salman Bhai - or any actor for that matter - say, is his opinion as a common man, a mere civilian."

He added, "Ask people about the war, and anyone would say it's bad. That's exactly what he said as well. War anywhere, in any part of the world, be it Syria, India, Iraq, China, cannot be a good thing."

He also said, "I wouldn't understand the psyche of anyone who says war is a good thing. Dialogue, debate, discussions have proven to go a long way in mending relations, without our jawans going to the front and losing lives. Sadly, we don't always know why these things happen and how they happen. Lack of knowledge from our side often downplays our intentions. We don't have the authority to say things or the right to stop things. So, all we can do is lament."
