“Anywhere I travel across the world, to date, I get compliments for the acts with Shakeel Siddiqui,” she said, adding that none of their skits were scripted, but were improvised during live performance.
Further reflecting on the ban on Pakistani artists from working in India, due to political tensions between the neighbouring countries, Seth added, “Right now, the world is being governed by politics, so I’m not in that position to say much. But I do think that art should be free world over.”
“Whenever there has been a strife anywhere in the world, it has always been resolved by art only. Art is a way of forging the bond. It is the way to love and acceptance. As art has saved us all these years, I just hope that it does so in future as well,” she concluded.
