Surprisingly, the ban on Saif's Phantom didn't get people as worked up as the Bollywood actor's comment about losing faith in Pakistan. Shaan gave the B-Town actor a piece of his mind by asking him to look inwards before taking out negativity on his neighbouring country:
He wasn't the only one who was outraged at Saif, Pakistanis soon took to Twitter to blow off some steam and show their annoyance over the incident:
One shared a similar opinion as Shaan:

Another turned the tables and questioned him:
Note to Saif Ali Khan " would the Indian Board of Censors allow a Pakistani movie on the Samjhouta Express?

Saif Ali Khan says he has no faith in Pakistan " ironic given that a great part of his father's side of the family migrated to Pakistan

And one showed her loss of faith in the actor:
#SaifAliKhan ur career has ended in Pakistan. You can rest in peace now. And yes as Hamza Ali Abbasi said "Bash my country I'll bash yours".
