So we all heard 'the self styled national spokesperson' in the newshour last night, debating about the MNS ultimatum given to the Pakistani stars to leave India within 48 hours. To those who did not hear, he was supporting the idea of sending back the Pakistani stars.

So as the writer of this blog, I am feeling guilty about the bigotry I am manifesting because this time, I support this idea. Before all the pseudo-intellects start attacking me with questions like “Isme Fawad aur Mahira ki kya galti hai?” or “Was it the actors who killed the soldiers?” To them, my answer is NO. Infact, they did not do anything; they neither took a stand, condemned the attacks, nor sympathised with Indians. Second of all, we are not asking to ban them; for the time being the agony is still fresh in our hearts about the Uri attacks, atleast till then, span.

They earn millions in India- Did they go back and opened up schools, or initiated campaigns to thwart the kids to fall into the hands of radical groups? Did they take any stance over Human rights in Pakistan? After all, these people have fan following back home and people listen to them. 

One of my Fb Paki friend, whom I acquainted with at an MUN, asked me, “Aapke Indian actors ne kya kiya hai abhi tak?” To him, my answer was,

“Firstly, they are not solely "hamaare" Indian actors, Pakis also watch Indian movies as the film industry in Pakistan is underdeveloped. Second of all, ever heard about Aman ki Asha ads by Amitabh Bachchan- a campaign to resolve the conflict between the two sparring partners. Being Human by Salman Khan is helping the needy within the nation, and he has been dubbed as ‘the most philanthropic Bollywood actor’ by a Chinese Institute. Shahrukh Khan has touched a million lives by his charitable deeds, Dia Mirza and Rahul Bose, are other examples that can be cited."

I am of the opinion that these non state actors play a pertinent role in bringing the wave of change. Therefore, the media, stars and famous personalities of Pakistan who have relished the hospitality of India and want to continue living here, should also think about the well being of India.

At the end, I would like to say that we are in love with the Pakistani talent and even prefer Paki coke studio over the Indian one.  Atif Aslam is our heart throb, Jal band is still the best Indi pop we have ever heard, Bilal Saeed’s “Bas teri kher mangdi" is our latest best tune, the Pakistani dressing style is hugely followed by the female population here, and the daily soaps of Zindagi Channel are a hit in India. I, therefore, believe in the ability of the artists who can do a lot to pacify the situation and help in bringing peace between the two neighbour countries.
