The old tweets were a decade old, and in them, the veteran actor shared the pain of Kashmir Pandits and discussed the reasons for their exodus. In 2013, he tweeted "I see some people making Kashmiri Pandit’s Exodus outcry into a religious thing. It is NOT. It is about Human Sufferings. Hindu or Muslim."
In 2012, Anupam wrote, "DON’T FORGET DON’T FORGIVE. @mobyshah: please don’t forget the Kashmiri Muslim as well pandith women who went through a similar pain."
In 2010, he tweeted, "My heart bleeds for Kashmir. Politics and terrorism has turned heaven into a hell for its people. Both… Hindus and Muslims."
In a tweet, he posted in 2011, he blamed politicians for Pandits' problem, he wrote that both Muslims and Pandits used to live peacefully. "Problem is NOT with Kashmiri Pandits and Muslims. We have lived together for Years Peacefully. It’s POLITICIANS my friend. :)".
ऐसा नहीं है कि अनुपम खेर ने आज से 7-8 साल पहले हिन्दू मुस्लिम समानता वाला कोई एकाध ट्वीट ग़लती से कर दिया हो। बहुत से ऐसे ट्वीट्स हैं जो उनके तब के सेकुलर विचारधारा को बताते हैं। पटकथा में परिवर्तन तो बाद में शुरू हुआ। वैसे दिमाग़ी चिप में बदलाव पर एक बेहतरीन फ़िल्म बन सकती है! pic.twitter.com/XE4pfkKeu8
