A day after her ‘Humsafar’ co-star Fawad Khan broke his silence on the strained Indo-Pak relations, Mahira Khan too has said something on it. In a Facebook post, Mahira said that she wants peace to prevail. It could not be wrong to say that her statement echoed the thoughts of Fawad.
Mahira, who will be seen romancing superstar Shah Rukh Khan in ‘Raees’, faced brunt lately because of her Pakistani origin. After Raj Thackrey led Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) asked for a boycott of Pak artists, Mahira’s name made it to the news often. The party had also threatened that since she is a part of the SRK starrer, they will ban its release.
The call for ban sparked after the horrific Uri attacks that left 19 Indian soldiers dead. Speaking on the act of terror, Mahira said that as any loss of life is condemned by her. She said that she would never rejoice in bloodshed, war and hopes that goodness is restored.
Here is what she posted:
Mahira’s post too was thronged by mixed comments. Few on the social media said that the same thought process in statements of Fawad and Mahira hints that they may have consulted each other before making it.
Though Mahira did not say anything about the ban on Pakistani artists in India, her statement hints that she wants normalcy to prevail.
