John Abraham says if actors are aware of the political situation in the country, they must voice their opinion but should not do that for effect or to "trend".
The actor's comments come a day after Kangana Ranaut blasted Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt calling them "irresponsible" for their apolitical stand on issues concerning national interest.
Asked if he believes actors are obliged to make a political comment, John told reporters, "Yes, if they are politically aware. Kangana is very politically aware and she has got a voice. I think you must take a stand if you are politically aware."
