Mention one Pakistani celeb celebrating the capture of Abhinandan, heck most of the people even wanted him to return on the same day to India yet all these Vicky, Ajay, Priyanka wanted to start a war with Pakistan. The question begs is that do they even live in India when they are not shooting for movies?
You are contradicting yourself when you say Pakistan finances these groups, so why would you have a problem when Indian celebrities say something against the said "Pakistan?" If a country is funding a terrorist group that actively kills and attacks the people of the neighboring country, who they claim to want to build a "peaceful" relationship with, what do you expect the Indians to actually do? Do you realize how many mixed messages that is sending. If Pakistan actually was a person, it would be someone two faced who shows their friendly face on one side and is actively trying to hurt you behind your back.
For instance, if India and Pakistan's roles were reversed, do you think Pakistan would be okay with such behavior? Would your people be okay with such behavior? You are normalizing this situation! US doing whatever in Afghanistan has no bearing in the situation between India and Pakistan as both countries are neighbors and have years of conflict between them and they share a long history together. I think what US did was highly debatable, though I will reserve my judgement because I'm not entirely aware of the situation there, but in this situation, such financing, supporting, and fostering is absolutely NOT okay. You are either FOR peace or you are not. Normalizing such thing is NOT okay. Though to get back to the topic of bollywood celebrities, only thing I can say is, in a sense of heightened emotion that such attacks bring, such sentiments are understandable, as eventually there was going to be no war logically. But even if there was, India had a very sufficient reasoning to follow through on it. And I would also like to say that hating Pakistan for such acts doesn't mean actively hating the people per sey, you can hate an institution which is the Pakistani government, without hating the people, which is the case when most celebrities talk about Pakistan or when most of us talk about Pakistan.
