Asked if he felt that it was unfair to leave out the Pakistani players from the IPL, the actor said, "

At some stage, you do feel so. There are people who admire them and they have so many good players. This should not have happened.

"

Bachchan said he favoured cultural exchange between the neighbours.

"

It's (IPL) is a business and is privately run. But I myself is part of a campaign which is trying to have exchange of things like culture and sport,

" he said.
