Pak-India tensions: Ahsan Khan calls out Indian artists for spewing hate

Amid intense turmoil provoked by Indian aircraft's violation of the Line of Control in an airstrike in Pakistan on Tuesday, eminent actors and public figures from the other side of the border have unleashed a plethora of sabre-rattling discourse while spewing hate and cheering for war.

In response, famed Pakistani celebrities  have advocated an anti-war stance, endorsing peace while also calling out Indian actors and actresses for glorifying war.

Shedding light on the matter and presenting his opinion in light of the current scenario, renowned TV and film actor Ahsan Khan, speaking on Geo News morning show Geo Pakistan said that it is highly shameful how celebrities from the Indian film industry have fueled the  crisis.

"Actors all around the world promote peace and advocate for humanitarian causes! It is highly shameful how Bollywood celebrities have cheered for war," the 37-year-old actor said.

"Indian actors are pathetic!" he continued.

Calling out celebrities like Kangana Ranaut, Ajay Devgn and Adnan Sami, the Udaari actor said that artists from both the countries should mutually collaborate towards working on common grounds, like furthering education and eliminating poverty, something that would benefit the region largely.

"Taking a cue from Hollywood celebrities who influence masses, Indian actors should call for peace," Ahsan reiterated.

Renowned singer Jawad Ahmed also weighed in his opinion, stating how war is never profitable for those who engage in it.

Jawad also commended Prime Minister Imran Khan's stance on propagating peace, lauding his address that came a day earlier.
