How did I miss this topic !!
TM Rimi - I assume that you are not trying to troll or bash here.
Let me give some background, coz what I am gonna say may be misinterpreted. I have a Pakistani neighbor and we go BW movies together, most of the times we go for 2nd or 3rd viewing together. She is probably most progressive woman I have seen. She is 2nd Generation Brit-Pak and her family backhome is Pak-Elite .
She is also aware of all the hoopla and background of ADHM and is a huge BW buff.
Her comment on Alizeh's character , during watching the movie was - Thank god they did not show her a Pakistani. It would have been serious character assassination of Pak young girl by BW movie and would have been banned in Pak if she was shown as a Lahori.
Sorry, If I hurt any sentiments, but thank god they made the characters Indian and I don't mind them being Muslim coz I have seen many muslim girls like Alizeh in India.
