A recent tweet from noted filmmaker Shekhar Kapur got him engaged in a war of words with renowned lyricist and screenwriter Javed Akhtar. Shekhar's tweet on Saturday stated that he still feels like a "refugee" and how some "intellectuals" made him feel "insignificant and small".

"Started life as a refugee of Partition. Parents gave everything to make a life for kids. Was always in fear of 'intellectuals'. They made me feel insignificant. Small (sic)," read the tweet.
