Veteran actress Ratna Pathak Shah, who went to National School of Drama (NSD) in 1978, earlier, in an interview labelled acting training institutes as 'shops'. Now, Anupam Kher has reacted to the actress' statement.

Anupam, who runs an acting school, commenting on Ratna Pathak Shah's remark told Pinkvilla that it's her ''point of view''. He added, ''I was also watching Naseer바카라s interview, he was also saying the same thing. Both of them are from National School Of Drama, will they call NSD a shop? So, sometimes a person says things out of bitterness or gets philosophical. It바카라s not important for me to justify what they think. They think it바카라s a shop and it is perfectly alright with me.바카라

The National award-winning actor also recalled an incident when a confident actor became nervous in front of the camera. It made him to open his acting school. While referring to Ratna바카라s comment, Anupam said, ''People say that these are shops but I think they need to rethink about it because you are producing future generation of actors and it바카라s easy to make a statement like that. There are journalism schools, schools for dentists. Does Ratna goes to a dentist who didn바카라t go to a school? Why should they pass a judgment about somebody who runs an acting school with so much sincerity? But I am sure she isn바카라t talking about my school. Many people have opened these type of schools but those who run these schools know how much it is important to them.바카라

Earlier, in an interview with Pinkvilla, the 'Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai' actress said, ''We have created no trainers for actors. Almost everyone who is running a shop just now, and I used the word shop. It바카라s not an acting training institute, they are shops. Those guys are making money, cheating young people. I mean, the kind of stuff that goes on in these acting shops is appalling, and kids are paying lakhs for that. But NSD was not like that. So we got trained in theatre and I learnt a lot, but about acting I didn't learn much at all.바카라
