Participating in the debate on motion of thanks on President Droupadi Murmu’s address, O’Brien said the film carries a beautiful message and applauded those behind the film, terming them ‘India’s biggest global ambassadors’. ‘Pathaan’ has been a huge commercial success, with its box office collection reaching Rs 422.75 crore on Monday. ‘Well done Siddharth Anand (director)…. Well done India’s biggest global ambassadors. Well done those of you who made ‘Pathaan’. What we could not do, Shah Rukh Khan, Dimple Kapadia and John Abraham have shown this country. We learnt from them…. Do not mess with India’s biggest global ambassadors’, the Trinamool Congress leader said on Tuesday.
