Bahaha. The likes of Alia, Parineeti, Taapsee etc. are not great lookers. Mahira is better looking than the average BW actress. Anyhow the issue at hand isn't about her looks. It's about being given an equal opportunity.

Mahira, Fawad and others were wronged, and I'm glad Dholakia acknowledged it. The notions of hyper nationalism and jingoism aren't doing us any good.

I realised, it happens with other countries too.
In South Asia, India is a big player. Artists from smaller countries like Pakistan, Srilanka want to be part of it.
In East Asia, China is a big player. Artists from Korea/Taiwan/Thailand explore opportunities in China. There also, political tensions sometimes block cultural exchange. In 2016, apparently China had banned Hallyu, as S. Korea had installed a missile defence system. The ban was lifted recently.

Artists cannot help much. They just have to wait for the temperature to cool down.

Actors are more famous than singers and hence become soft targets.
But since there is such hatred between the two countries its not a good idea to import artists

That's the problem with our politics na...every thing is out of convenience. Many industry people raise this point that why this selective nationalism happens in our country. You want to ban the artist from across the border, ban them completely. Why this partiality between singers and actors. In fact, Pakistani artist work in our industry in 365 days, only time govt opens its eyes when any terrorist attack happens.
The idea of banning Pakistani artist was to stop their income in India which they pay to Pakistani govt in form of tax that indirectly helps terrorist groups. Then why only Bollywood is targetted every time, we have many Indian companies whose one or the other branch is located in Pakistan. As much as anyone denies, we have a business relationship with Pakistan. Just because Bollywood is visual medium and soft target, producers and directors, Pakistani actors are called for working in an Indian film.

I am not against banning Pakistani artist (not that I hate them) but why only a few actors/producers/directors are targetted. You want to stop Pakistani intrusion in our country, cut all business ties with that country.

There is for sure a lot of hypocrisy. I think it is mostly to do with the fact that someone like Mahira had to face the camera, rather than just be a voice. Bollywood picks and chooses what it wants...steals a bunch of Pakistani songs, but ban the actors lol 👏

your title is misleading... it says that BW is biased against all Pakistani artist, while inside you explain about different treatment to Singers versus Actors.

Secondly, it isnt BW who banned the actors, Its the public in general and Government was forced to act on it. Tensions were high during the terrorist attack on Indian Soldiers who were sleeping inside their bunkers, its was an heinous act and since its widespread knowledge that Pakistani Army supports Terrorism, the outcome became of banning of these actors, Singers were let go, cause they arent advertised much for the movie, and hardly few people know their nationality. Actors are more famous and are known to belong to their respective countries, hence this behavior.

But then, before that terrorist attack, no one had asked for a ban on any artist, be it singer or actor.

This.

And they allowed Saba qamar and sajal ali in Hindi Medium and Mom.

It's just political

Also the thread maker sounds confused.
