Ughhh not again! back in October 2016 things were different! If he sounded desperate and would have showed his zeal and zest for dying to work in Indian movies his 'dislikeness' (I dont know if there is such word but using it anyway) amongst the audience would have continued. Pakistani audience doesnt want its stars to work there because they are not respected over there. Its not because we are manaics and have banned a certain things here or think that they shouldnt work over there out of some agenda or some jingoistic nationalism. We are an art loving nation thats why Indian movies or HW movies work over here despite of all the negativity.

I might not be able to articulate my points eloquently but I know there is definitely some difference in some random person like me and for a star like Fawad (who happens to become a representative of Pakistan wherever he goes). Hell no one is asking Fawad NOT to watch the Indian movies but believe he shouldnt work because he is NOT respected. I watch Indian movies I have Indian friends but I am not looking for Job in India. There is difference!!


You never give up do you with your assumptions, do you? I follow Fawad closely and from what I have seen despite everything that happened he kept praising India and Indians. Also not much has changed with him from the work perspective...he is still doing ads which he never stopped even when he was working India. He is doing a Pakistani film now but thats yet to come out and results are to be seen. So what really has changed?
I dont think its just a star who becomes an ambassador of the country but everyone does. For me members of this forum or even random Pakistanis I meet outside India represent the country. So I dont see how the criteria is different?

well good voices are rising now.perhaps he would have become the void filler
for the aging khans by becoming the next big khan n so ppl were scared of him
hence the opportunity that presented itself to get rid of him was not wasted by
a few for own vested interest.

wasn't mahira targeted too? and a pakistani singer too was targeted but then he had condemned the terror attacks in a way more direct manner...so him being targetted was stopped...mahira on the other hand posted some message about romanticizing india pakistan relations as mere family feud...fawad toh didn't even say anything...but actually that is better than romanticizing india pakistan relations.
Anyway...it is quite true that he was one of the rare ones to have acting chops as well as looks...but I don't MISS him or anything...but then I suppose you only miss your favourites.
I too don't buy the conspiracy theories...so many army men too came forward giving reasons as to why art and celebrities from pakistan should be boycotted(CELEBRITIES,not just one celebrity)...I do think they have better work and lives than to support bollywood in its conspiracy theories.😆

You might have that in your name but I am not 'outraged' by your constant targeting despite of making it clear that I am not interested in talking to you. But anyway since one doesnt live in Pakistan I dont expect one to know what has changed. He was disappeared from pakistani screen for a long time and was being criticized submissively for that (and I have repeated it time and again that I am talking about my experiences with my friends circle and in the people I keep company with, heck everyone does that!!) but when these things went out of hands people who follow Pakistani dramas get angry on Fawad. He regained his sanity and that anger was short lived!! He didnt fall for the trap to speak against Pakistan and showed immense grace. He is on our screens again in every damn advertisement and people have moved on thinking he is back and learnt his lessons.

One must be following Fawad closely on instagram and for his photos but that one doesnt belong to his culture his society heck even his city. He is not giving many interviews and not speaking much so how much that one is following must be followed by everyone if someone has even an iota of interest in him. Also following one doesnt make that person own him. Or I dont expect him to be talking to that one in private conversations. So whatever is about him its through internet. He is talking good about India and Indians and thats a really good thing we expect our people to show tehzeeb to not to talk negative by making sweeping statements about whole nation. He is an educated one and what is surprising in that. Even Imran Khan (the politician) is friends with Indians and still criticize some of Indian policies and praise some. Whats the big deal about it?


Anyway I am done with 'one' and have stopped interactions a while back! Feel free to quote me but I am not going to reply again as it has become a useless practice. I dont care if one is convinced or not, I am not here to do that nether I am interested in their arguments. Everyone here talks about their experiences I am talking about mine!


P.S: Its just a sentiment from people of Pakistan that Pakistani artists should show some self respect and shouldnt work there if they are not wanted. I have read many Pakistani members talking about this even here so I believe the sentiment is mutual. No one has chained anyone or stopping anyone forcefully And I think even Fawad has made it pretty obvious in his interview that he might not work again so it means he got that message. His friends and all the sane educated people would have recommended him that as well and he has listened to them. Kuddos!!


And as far as having different set of criteria is concerned I think I have replied to that in my previous post where I said no one is stopping Fawad for NOT watching indian films. We watch Indian films and we definitely do that but we are NOT finding job over there. I will be following a Professors book from India which I think is a good read but I am not applying for jobs there neither attending any conference over there even after being in the same profession!

Ooo..someone is not talking to me and I didnt even know that? How did I miss it?🤣
Anyways you dont make sense in this post and neither do you have any replies for why one set of criteria for self respect for yourself and another for Fawad Khan.

If she is really cares about her own people equally then why she dont raise her voice against islamization of assam .Dailyprotest are happing even stone pelting is happening but i dont see any mainstream media specially seculars voice covering our voice

thats why i said she dont care about her own people and same with main stream media who dont care about northeast state


I agree with you about the neglect of north-east by mainstream media... I was shocked when I recently came to know that one needs special permit to visit Arunachal Pradesh...

But at the same time, in our country people have the freedom (or atleast I would like to believe that they have), to do the work they do and the topics they write about.. otherwise everyone can be accused of not caring about their own people. We can include people from all spheres of life and they would be guilty of that... why single out this lady?

^^^^^

I absolutely agree that the north east is neglected... But the special permit for visiting these areas is actually wanted by the local population...

They fear that if outsiders come and settle there, the local population dynamics will change in favour of the outsiders... In fact the govt had started a train connecting the north east (2014 i think)... And the locals got the train shut.. They did not let the people in the train disembark at the platform


But again yes the north east is badly neglected by all...

Firstly I did not prove anything here and I don't need to validate my statement to anyone 😛

It was just another article which came up and a friend shared it. But I see it got you excited because a lot of people are getting open about the scenario now whether they are certified or no. But the fact that you bumped in here to tell us indirectly that you still don't believe in it shows that you still care for what happened to FK. Don't worry, we have moved on and I hope you you will too😉
