- Actress Rabya Kulsoom, known for promoting peace and rejecting jingoism.
- Many Pakistani artists have worked in Bollywood, including Fawad Khan and Hania Aamir.
- Kulsoom expressed her disapproval of artists having no boundaries in Bollywood.
Rabya Kulsoom, a talented actress with a strong social media presence, speaks her mind with clarity and respect. Known for promoting peace and rejecting jingoism, she has consistently used her platform responsibly. However, after witnessing Indian artists openly supporting war during the recent conflict, Rabya felt compelled to speak out against Bollywood. As an artist who values harmony, she could no longer stay silent in the face of such behavior.
Many Pakistani artists have worked in Bollywood over the years. Fawad Khan recently acted in Abir Gulal, but the filmmakers have now shelved its release. Hania Aamir was also set to make her Bollywood debut in Sardaar Ji 3 alongside Diljit Dosanjh, but the project fell through. Meanwhile, several Indian stars made jingoistic remarks against Pakistan, even as Indian forces killed innocent children during the conflict.
Rabya Kulsoom took to her Instagram and said that “she does not want to see anyone talking about artists having no boundaries here. She will hit people with tomatoes if they try to work in Bollywood. She also wants a bill to be passed banning Pakistani artists from working in India.”
The public has rallied behind Rabya Kulsoom’s stance. Supporters praised her, with one commenting, “Pakistani artists should promote their work as people love them globally.” Another user added, “Finally, someone dared to say this.” A third remarked, “You don’t have to hate your neighbours, but you should maintain a distance from toxic neighbours.”
