"Even as the Taliban's return to power in Afghanistan is a cause for concern for the whole world, celebrations of the barbarians by some sections of Indian Muslims is no less dangerous," he said in a video shared on social media.

Shah also said that the very people who are currently celebrating the Taliban's return to power should instead question themselves if that's how they'd want things for themselves in the future.

"Do they want to reform their religion or live with the old barbarism?" the actor questioned the section of people. Shah then also went on to describe the difference between what he referred to as "Hindustani Islam" and the Islam practiced in other parts of the world.

"May God not bring a time when it changes so much that we cannot even recognize it," he concluded in the video.

Before their return to power recently, the Taliban had held the reigns over roughly three-quarters of Afghanistan from 1996 to 2001 and enforced a strict interpretation of Sharia.

However, it was then overthrown by US-led forces for harboring Al Qaeda that was behind the deadly 9/11 Attacks on the United States on September 11, 2001.
