Personal opinion it's ridiculous to think the industry will target someone who has barely been in the industry more than 3 years.. done 2 to 3 movies.. It's not like he has put the box office on fire.. khoubsorst was flop.. most of the audiances barely know him..

Now if you make the same point about zafar Ali.. I might agree with u.. but fawad is no where popular enough!!

Actors like nawaz, irfaan, rajkumar yadev... struggled for years in bw.. fawad in the other hand is new in bw..let him establish himself before treating him like a star... u assume the whole India know fawad khan because u know him.. or u have a crash on him..

So you are saying Ali Zafar is so popular that whole BW could target him or that he personally targeted Fawad or viceversa?

Nawaz, Irfan, Rajkumar might be good actors but hardly examples of being stars. So your example itself is wrong. The stars in film industry...they were all starts from their debut films or never known as stars. Khoobsurat wasnt a flop and K&S was a hit. Its interesting how you conveniently ignore K&S.

I can also say that you assume whole India doesnt know Fawad Khan because you dont have a 'crash' on him.

I am saying it make sense if people in the industry target zafar ali because he is a bit more established... maybe more star than fawad khan.. But to say they are targeting a struggling actor who barely is getting any work.. or got any work in the past 3 to 4 years.. sounds ridicules. Also Zafar ali... better actor, better singer.. more talented than fawad khan.. more successful.. by that token targeting zafar ali would more sense than fawad.

I have never said those actors are stars.. but they struggled in bw for years and kept at it. they pay their dues.. hence the reason I respect them more than fawad who may have got a knot over other actors simply because he has a special relationship with someone higher up in the industry.

I look at things from causal viewers prospective... u r saying casual bw movie goers... know who fawad khan is?

Hippo is writing this in sleep. 4 hours have elapsed since he crashed. It is his schedule to wake up after 3-4 hours of sleep, drink water, adjust room temperature, rewind music and then go to sleep for second session of 3 hours for total of 6-7 hours.

Some comments, sarcasm have been recorded and will be addressed in due time. A Khulasa will be posted anytime between 9 AM - 4 PM USA Eastern Standard Time.

LOL! So you THINK Ali Zafar is more popular than Fawad Khan. And Fawad is a struggling actor barely getting any work. Oh well! well! Chalo thik hain...😆Good luck to whatever you THINK. Enjoy!

It is unlikely that he would have become the next big thing outside the metros. People in smaller cities and towns wouldn't accept a foreigner in that way. He wouldn't have become the next SRK, so whoever put all this effort to 'get him out of the way'.

That is why I am here and will remain here. lol

I have set the condition in a manner that makes it unlikely for me to exit. Unless you turn rogue too.

Terrorists, goons, fundamentalists, thugs do not win elections. Well at least in majority of the countries. Even one is enough to cause a mess

Problem with your response is that you are now clinging to straws. No matter what you present the fact remains that India is not conducive to Pakistanis working, playing cricket and therefore Fawad himself is not pursuing. Who are we to force on him? lol

Your intention is noble..and despite your failed arguments I appreciate that. People who want Fawad to work despite extremists and goons speaking for the ban are appreciated by Hippo. However here your point is not being supported by conditions.

Your case is like a fancy car which can go upto 200 MPH and you are sitting in it and you start the engine and in excitement push the accelerator only to find out car is not moving. it has no wheels at the bottom. lol

So finally after 35 pages I have concluded two things:
Indian non-fans of Fawad-
1. Demand that Fawad fans give up their entertainment to support the army because soldiers are killed by the soldiers of this country.
2. Will not give up their own entertainment from a Indo-Pak match because its war as per them. War which you enjoy sitting in your living room with coke and popcorn. It doesnt matter now what the families of soldiers killed by Pakistani soldiers think about it in this case.

Pakistani non-fans of Fawad-
1. Demand that Fawad stay away from BW for self respect. Doesnt matter that they openly admit they do not watch Pakistani films or serials as audience, spend 24/7 of their time on a Bollywood forum discussing BW stars.
2. They are themselves ok to stay abroad and spread their wings in foreign countries because they are made to feel welcome. Doesnt matter if these countries habitually call out their own for supporting terrorism and bomb parts of their country regularly.

In the end I would like to say that appreciate those who atleast say that lets ban everything including cricket, trade and not just Pakistani artists.
Chalo enough of me on this thread now...Monday is here!

First do not lump me with that group. My point is based on situation, common sense and practical implications and not hatred/issue of India or Indians. I have no objections to India and I consider it as a great nation. I can disagree with some policies but those can change with time. There is no hatred or dislike

I know you subconsciously believe that we are somehow doing bad in US but that is not the case. We are earning high, we are respected, we get visas, people appreciate us. I have absolutely no issue. Not every country is perfect. we get discriminated against in our own countries. So dont again compare us working in US to Fawad working in India.

Totally agree...I have said it a million times..that India should cut all ties with Pak...if the need arises...I think this point is not even debatable...people are just debating on the selective boycott of one actor here...while everything else with Pakistan ...the trade, the sports, the meeting of dignitaries...working of Pak artists in India is going on as usual..

This is a very bad post. I did not expect such views from you. but its ok.

Hence the whole discussion is about which member will get what certificate! 🤔 one has been crying and whining since September about how goons threatened Fawad, environment turned hostile for him and still defending eveything is hunky dory in response to hippo's post Now I got the true meaning of urdu proverb 'bhains ke agay been bjana' no matter how melodious is it bhains is not going to understand

P.S:i am not calling anyone bhains just using a proverb!

Her intention is noble. Problem is when they try to balance things. You just cannot equate things artificially. You have to analyze each case differently.
