After Fawad, Mahira speaks up!
Paki artistes are now finally talking on the Indo-Pak tension. Why did they take so long? Fawad's Ae Dil Hai Mushkil and Mahira's Raees has met with stiff resistance from MNS
After Fawad Khan, Mahira
Khan has followed suit. The star has taken to her Facebook page to speak on
the ongoing Indo-Pak conflict.
“In the 5 years that I have been working as an
actor I believe that I have tried my best to keep my country’s respect intact –
by being a professional and by representing Pakistan here and elsewhere to the
best of my abilities,” she said.
“As a Pakistani and citizen of the world I
strongly condemn any act of terror, any loss of human life no matter which soil
it is on. I will not rejoice in bloodshed and war. I will always hope for and
dream of a world where my child can live without it, and always plead with
everyone to imagine a peaceful world,” she added
“It has also been in this time my faith in saner
minds and goodness has been restored, thank you for the messages, love and
support. Hoping and praying for peace always," she concluded.
Earlier, Mahira had also tweeted a viral Facebook
post which advocated for peace between the two neighbours.
Fawad, Mahira and other Pakistani actors were
targetted by Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS), which had issued an ultimatum to
them to leave India within 48 hours or be forced out.
The party has also threatened to stall the
releases of Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, which has a cameo by Fawad, and Raees,
starring Mahira in the lead role.
