Sunny Deol sparks backlash over Pakistan ‘maternal aunt’ remark
Sunny Deol has come under scrutiny on social media after making a remark about Pakistan during a promotional interaction for his upcoming film ‘Lahore 1947’.
While speaking informally about cultural ties between the two nations, Deol said, “Pakistan is India’s mausi.” The comment, intended to frame the countries as historically and culturally linked, quickly circulated online and triggered debate.
The backlash centred on the analogy’s timing, with several political commentators arguing that the comparison was insensitive given the current diplomatic climate. Social‑media users accused the actor of trivialising long‑standing geopolitical tensions, while others defended the remark as a colloquial cultural reference rather than a political statement.
