Giving her opinion on the ongoing furore about ban on Pakistan artistes, actress Hema Malini said that she appreciated the work of actors from the neighbouring country. However, the actress and politician also said that she cannot say whether they should be allowed to work in India or not.
BJP MP Hema refused to comment on the controversial question but said that they are artistes.
"I don't want to comment much on this controversial question. But all I can say is that we are artistes and so are those who come from there (Pakistan) to perform here,” Hema said.
"As an artiste, I can appreciate their work. But whether they should stay here or not, I can't comment," she added. Hema Malini was launching a new campaign of the brand Kent RO.
The Indian Motion Pictures Producers Association has decided to ban Pakistani artistes from working in Indian movies following a terror attack on Indian troops in Jammu and Kashmir that left 19 soldiers dead.
