In an interview with Bollywood Bubble, Rajeev slammed the ban on Pakistani artists. He opined that it is all "politics" and it is not right to do so. He said, "Logo ko ban karne waale kaun hote hain politicians. Humari politics dictate karti hai kuchh cheezo ko. Jaha pe pyaar badh sakta hai, uss pyaar ko bhi aap badhne nahi de rahe, for whatever reasons."
The actor added that he doesn't understand this and feels that it would be wrong on his part to comment on this as he doesn't understand it. "Where there is genuine peace and harmony, there too political parties give it a Hindu-Muslim angle. That is not right. It's not that the Pakistani government is sending the artists as agents. I have only seen a lot of love coming," he concluded.
