Fawad Khan & Mahira Khan no longer in India

After last week’s threats against Pakistani actors working in Bollywood, its come to light that the likes of Fawad Khan and Mahira Khan have returned to Pakistan.

While it is not known if they had gone before or after the threats, it is believed Pakistani actors have been told keep silent rather than go public about their thoughts on the controversy. A source told The Nation, ���Most of the Pakistani celebrities have returned home from India. They have been advised by their directors and producers to remain silent on the issue as they might face negative public reaction.�۝

Meanwhile, SpotBoye reported MNS Chitrapat Sena’s president Ameya Khopkar saying television broadcasters in India have also been informed not to sign up any Pakistani actors for any future fictions. He told the publication, “Yes, our people met Star, Sony, Zee and Colors and made our stand clear.”

It will be interesting to see what happens in the coming weeks when Fawad and Mahira will be required in India for promotions of ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’ and ‘Raees’, respectively.
