Ever since militants attacked the Indian Army base in Uri, right-wing political parties have been demanding the ouster of Pakistani actors and artistes working in India and a couple of days after Pakistani actor Fawad Khan spoke about the issue on his Facebook page, Pakistani actress Mahira Khan, who will be seen making her Bollywood debut opposite Shah Rukh Khan in ‘Raees’, too spoke her heart out on Facebook.
Taking to her Facebook page, Mahira wrote, “In the 5 years that I have been working as an actor I believe that I have tried my best to keep my country's respect intact - by being a professional and by representing Pakistan here and elsewhere to the best of my abilities. As a Pakistani and citizen of the world I strongly condemn any act of terror, any loss of human life no matter which soil it is on. I will not rejoice in bloodshed and war. I will always hope for and dream of a world where my child can live without it, and always plead with everyone to imagine a peaceful world. It has also been in this time my faith in saner minds and goodness has been restored, thank you for the messages, love and support. Hoping and praying for peace always.”
After the militant attack, the MNS had specifically named Fawad and Mahira and had demanded that they leave the country within 48 hours or face reprisals.
