"Subhash Ghai is liability by name and not an asset. The asset is the children who are the future of the film industry so please protect them," Ghai said at a press conference. He was accompanied by students of his film acamdey, Whistling Woods International, and few supporters from the film fraternity.

"We have strength, courage and honesty. We don't know what will be the future. Film industry and media should think and talk about it and take this forward. I am sure the doors will open again," he added.
