🇮🇳 Rupali Ganguly Slams Fawad Khan Over Operation Sindoor Remarks
In a recent turn of events, Indian television actress Rupali Ganguly has vocally criticized Pakistani actor Fawad Khan for his comments on India’s Operation Sindoor. The operation, launched in response to the Pahalgam terror attack, targeted terrorist infrastructures in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. Fawad Khan’s remarks labeling the operation as “shameful” have stirred controversy, prompting a strong rebuttal from Ganguly.
🎭 Fawad Khan’s Controversial Statement
Fawad Khan took to social media to express his views on Operation Sindoor, stating:
“My deepest condolences to the families of those injured and killed in this shameful attack. I pray for the souls of the deceased and strength for their loved ones in the days to come. A respectful request to all: stop stoking the flames with rabble-rousing words. It is not worth the lives of innocent people. May better sense prevail. InshaAllah. Pakistan Zindabad!”
His statement, perceived by many as a criticism of India’s military actions, has been met with backlash from various quarters in India.
💥 Rupali Ganguly’s Fiery Response
Rupali Ganguly, known for her role in the television series Anupamaa, responded sharply to Fawad Khan’s comments. She reposted his statement and added:
“You working in Indian films was also ‘shameful’ for us.”
Rupali Ganguly’s retort highlights the perceived hypocrisy in Khan’s stance, given his previous involvement in Bollywood films such as Khoobsurat, Kapoor & Sons, and Ae Dil Hai Mushkil.
🛑 Industry Reactions and AICWA’s Stand
The All India Cine Workers Association (AICWA) has also condemned Fawad Khan’s remarks, reaffirming its strict ban on Pakistani artists working in India. The association stated:
“These statements are not just disrespectful to our nation but also an insult to the countless innocent lives lost due to terrorism and the brave soldiers who sacrificed their lives for our country.”
AICWA’s stance reflects the broader sentiment within the Indian entertainment industry regarding collaborations with Pakistani artists amid heightened tensions.
📺 The Broader Implications
This exchange between Rupali Ganguly and Fawad Khan underscores the complex interplay between art, politics, and national sentiment. While art often transcends borders, instances like these highlight the challenges artists face when political tensions influence public perception and professional opportunities.
It is also an alarming hint for Indian filmmakers to look for the talent within borders. Because extending a favorite hand till terrorism is not Vanished completely from earth can turn disastrous and disappointing.
Talent hunt within India can serve twin justice as Indian talent will get better and righteous exposure and the victims of terror attacks won’t be hurt if such people are not invited to explore our resources to fulfill their dreams.
This episode serves as a lesson for even smaller industries like Pollywood who were majorly accepting junior artists cross borders. It is high time that we unite and make it a rule to uproot terrorism.
