Condemn any act of terror, no matter which soil it is on: Mahira Khan
09 October, New Delhi
After Pakistani actor Fawad Khan, Mahira Khan too has broken her silence on the terror attacks in Uri and has said she condemns any act of terror, no matter which soil it is on.
”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,” she posted on her Facebook account.
Along with Mahira other Pakistani actors have come under attack for being mum on the Uri terror attack which led to heightened tensions between India and Pakistan.
In her Facebook post, Mahira said, ”In the five 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.”
Mahira, who became a household name in India thanks to her Pakistani TV show “Humsafar”, will be seen in Shah Rukh Khan starrer “Raees”, which is scheduled to release next year.
The statement by Mahira comes amid a call by several people for a ban on working of Pakistani actors in India.
The Indian Motion Picture Producers Association passed a resolution banning Pakistanis from working in films being made in India as they were upset that Pakistani artistes did not condemn the incident.
