This has been told by us a lot of times and I guess we were right. Some of the A list actors of Pakistan are working in BW films and nobody comes up with useless patriotic views anymore, nor do people debate that whether they should watch the movie or not but it was not like this few months back.

I think Fawad is in a better space now, he didn't die to work in India instead he accepted the opportunity that was given to him by the producers from India. So I hope he never comes back to BW, he and his family was disrespected and they feared that he would take over the young brigade.

There was no fear that he would take over any brigade. simply bec he hadn't done enough movies that people start "fearing" ... i think he is a better actor than alot of starkids but he hadn't actually done much or acquired enough BO pull that the industry would start conspiring against him ...


in this so called conspiracy, one who was at the receiving end was kjo who is an industry darling. his film was almost not released,


and how was he disrespected ?... from what i gather the industry was pretty sweet to him .. i don't remember any actor saying anything bad about him ... even the press wrote how bully tactics were being used by certain political elements so they supported him too.


if you are talking about shiv sena , in that case they disrespect everyone - sometimes they target women, sometimes muslims, sometimes non marathi speakers - its a new agenda every day

Aslam and Rahat Ali can still sing .. they used to come on and off for concerts too to India which is ban now but Atif n rahat songs r not on ban list.same way all recent release songs of Pakistani movies lyrics given by Gulzar, Shabiba as choreo why no one put ban on them .also songs sing by famous Indian playback singers.

Hippo had conducted and inquiry into this few weeks back, His investigative reports had following salient points

I really hope Fawad is signed by the West. Some nice romcom or drama. And hope he becomes a BIG star worldwide.

about time someone said it like it is. he was targeted coz they knew he was better looking and a better actor then these duffers that bw currently has. + he was intelligent and eloquent. i read somewhere that ranbir got him out. i wnt put it past him.


all these male stars breathed a sign of relief when that talented actor was kicked out and none of them even stood up a bunch of assholes.

i want fawad back

i don't want him in BW for his own good, he was targeted in INDIA and he must have been targeted there too by some section of PAKISTANIS

This women is talking without any facts like a jilted fan. When they imposed the ban they made it clear that the ongoing projects having pakistan actors/actresses would not be affected.

We've passed this decision in the AGM today on the demand of all the producers. Henceforth, till the situation is ok between the Pakistani and Indian governments, we will not hire any Pakistani artist, technician or singer. If there's any ongoing project from which they cannot be removed now, on which everything has been done, they can come for that. We will maintain this till the relations between Pakistan and India are ok. The AGM at IMPPA House in Mumbai was attended by more than 200 film producers.

She is saying Fawad was single out...then goes on to say that Mahira was also not allowed to come to India for promotion. But neither was Saba Qamar, Sajal Ali, Adnan Siddiqui. Even the remaining shooting of MOM was completed in Bangkok as the pakistani actors were not allowed. Mawra Hocane was also denied visa. Why she is not talking about them. Is her concern just limited to Fawad?

It's just that the timing of release of Ae Dil Hai Mushkil coincide with the attack, that's the reason Fawad Khan had to bear the brunt. If any another pakistani actors film would have released they might have face the same situation.
