India and Pakistan may be neighbors but the relations between them have always been tense and the reason behind it is Pakistan’s involvement in promoting terrorism in India.
Despite strained relations between both the nations, Pakistani actors were still able to work in Indian film industry but after the Pulwama attack, all the Pakistani artists were banned from working in Indian showbiz.
However a Pakistani actress, presenter and producer Nadia Khan feels that the top actors of Indian film industry especially “the Khans” felt insecure by Pakistani actors and they got Pakistani actors banned in their country.
During a chat show, Nadia Khan said, “After working in their films, Fawad Khan and other Pakistani celebs are so popular in India that some of Bollywood’s top actors became insecure about them. They only tried to create a political issue between the two countries and made sure our artistes were banned there (After Uri attack). It was not just the Indian politicians that had an issue with us, the top actors there were scared.”
Nadia Khan further added, “It is not just a fear of getting films, but also how much the Indian public was starting to love Pakistani actors. They were so scared of our talent that they got us banned. Recently what our actors Wahaj and Bilal have done has made the Indian public fall in love with them… these stars in India are viral, you have no idea about their fan following in India. Even the Khans (Aamir Khan, Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan) are insecure – ‘If these boys come in our films, what will we do?’”
