What Fawad Khan says about intolerance in India?

Fawad Khan opened up about intolerance in India has said that he never faced any issues working in India and anti Pakistan group should be ignored.

He was speaking at a tree plantation event at the Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital (SKMCH) and Research Centre, Peshawar. “I have never faced any issues working in India. The groups that work against Pakistan should be ignored because there are similar groups present in Pakistan too. We as artists should ignore such groups and concentrate on our work,” he said.

The Shiv Sena has in recent weeks targeted Pakistani artists and has said they will not allow artists from Pakistan to work in India. The party forced popular Ghazal singer Ghulam Ali to cancel his concerts in different parts of India last month.

Fawad has completed shooting for Kapoor and Sons where he has worked with Alia Bhatt, Sidharth Malhotra and Rishi Kapoor. Mahira will be making her much anticipated Bollywood debut alongside Shah Rukh Khan in Raees.

Fawad khan, who made outstanding progress with his first Bollywood film Khubsoorat said he would love to invite Shah Rukh Khan to visit Peshawar, “Peshawar is very beautiful and peaceful, and I will invite Shahrukh Khan to visit his native city”.
