Pakistani stars have been a driving force in sharing Pakistan’s side in the ongoing Pakistan-India conflict. The two countries have been at odds for decades now. Previously, we have seen how India would blame Pakistan for everything that goes wrong inside their borders, and Pakistani artists have always advocated for peace. This time around, things changed when our artists condemned the deaths in Pahalgam. They once again propagated peace, but they did not allow India to blame us. The stars stood up for Pakistan and defended their country with full force.
Here is a list of Pakistani stars who did not shy away from calling out Indian aggression. They do stand for peace, but they did not allow another country to blame their homeland:
Shaan Shahid
Shaan Shahid is a prominent Pakistani star known for his unwavering and assertive stance on issues about Pakistan. As a superstar in the Pakistani film industry, he has received countless offers from Bollywood over the years, yet he has firmly rejected every one of them. Shaan stands resolutely against the notion of any Pakistani actor working in India, engaging in a public confrontation with Ali Zafar, who was thriving in Bollywood at the time. He strongly believes that Indians fail to respect Pakistan and its artists, advocating instead for the elevation of our film industry rather than pursuing opportunities across the border. Recently, he reiterated his bold stance, calling out Indian aggression and highlighting their pettiness.
Faysal Quraishi
Faysal Quraishi is considered one of the biggest and most versatile stars in Pakistan. He has a large global following and consistently captivates audiences with his performances. The actor quickly stood up for Pakistan in response to Indian aggression, criticizing the jingoistic behavior of certain Indian celebrities. He expressed gratitude for the freedom to voice his opinions in his own country and was shocked by how some Indian stars openly celebrated the deaths of innocent children.
Mawra Hocane
Mawra Hocane is a prominent Pakistani star who has also worked in Bollywood. She recently went viral again after her film Sanam Teri Kasam was re-released and became a hit—an unusual occurrence. She received praise from both Bollywood stars and audiences alike. Despite this success, the actress did not hesitate to express her support for her country when Pakistan was targeted by India. She was even personally criticized by her co-star Harshvardhan Rane, but she responded strongly, stating that her country and peace take precedence over any public relations or film promotion.
Bilal Abbas Khan
Bilal Abbas Khan is another Pakistani star with a huge fan following in India. With Ishq Murshid, he cemented a place in the hearts of the Indian audience. The actor did not let that stop him from speaking for his country. Bilal Abbas Khan was among the stars who called out India’s Israel style attack the very first night it happened. He did not worry about losing his Indian followers and said what was needed to be said.
Mahira Khan
Mahira Khan is a prominent Pakistani actress who has represented her country on the international stage. With a strong portfolio of dramas, films, and Netflix series, she has made a significant mark in the entertainment industry. Her Bollywood debut in Raees, alongside Shah Rukh Khan, showcased her talent. Unfortunately, due to the intolerant environment created by Hindutva extremism in India, she couldn’t promote the film or appear at its release.
Mahira often praises her collaborators and appreciates her team. While she is celebrated in India, she is also outspoken in her support for Pakistan. She has condemned Hindutva extremism and shared her experiences with intolerance. Despite the risk of losing Instagram followers, she stands firmly by her beliefs.
Urwa Hocane
Another Pakistani star who was very open about calling out Indian aggression was Urwa Hocane. The starlet not only called out India for how they were wrongly accusing Pakistan but also went a step ahead and called out her colleagues who were still appeasing India while they were openly putting false accusations against Pakistan and disrespecting Pakistani artists by banning them and their work.
