In an oblique reference to the controversy-struck "Padmavati", Rohit took to Twitter to condemn the protests and threats against the film's director, Sanjay Leela Bhansali and lead actor Deepika Padukone.
The Kaabil actor said he was a "proud Indian", who held the country's history in high esteem.

"A film is being used by some for political leverage.. Does calling to behead a gentleman in any way legal, tolerable or democratic? How then are the powers that be quiet about it? No arrests, no warnings even! History cannot be distorted, no question about it..." Rohit wrote.
"I have to say that this polarisation is going to debilitate India and bring it to its knees... What about this 'mother' of ours?" he added.

Rohit had tweeted on Monday that he was sad and "frustrated" to be an Indian citizen in today's times. "For the first time, I'm sad, frustrated, enraged etc etc that I'm an Indian living in India... Never thought I'd ever say that. Indeed, very sad... Jai Hind," he had written.
Bhansali's "Padmavati" is facing the wrath of various Rajput groups and political leaders, who have accused him of the "wrongful" depiction of queen Padmavati and "distorting historical facts".

Earlier scheduled to arrive in cinema halls on December 1, the release date of the film has been postponed by the makers till further notice.
