This morning we updated you on how MNS issued strict warning against the Pakistani artist to pack their bags and leave India with a 48 hour deadline. If the actors failed to do so, they will be PUSHED OUT. But, Bollywood came to their rescue.
Veteran filmmaker Vikram Bhatt shared his views on this particular issue. When he was asked whether Pakistani actors must take a stand on the Uri attacks, Bhatt says,
“I expect them to take a stand but can they do that? They are actors, creative people, not activists. I don’t think they can go back if they are going to talk against the terrorist outfits in Pakistan. They would surely fear for their lives, might as well become Indian citizens then. I think they would really fear for their safety.”
That’s true! Don’t you agree? Not just Bhatt, but Citylights director Hansal Mehta also raised his voice against MNS expressing his disagreement. Here’s what he posted on his twitter handle:
MNS for next central govt. In one master stroke they have solved the India Pakistan problem. After all it is artistes who provoke attacks.

He’s on point! What do you say?
Further, this is what the director has to say,
“We should concentrate on making sure that Pakistan is declared a terrorist state. That should be our effort. This is like trivializing the issue, whether artists or cricket should be allowed nor not. How does that matter? What matters is that people are dying, we have been constantly suffering. And the only thing we do is ban artists!”
The Pakistani artist surely are being supported by Bollywood and us too, am I right guys? Share your views in the comments section below.
