After Fawad, Mahira Khan Condemns Uri Attacks, Makes A Sensible Comment On Indo-Pak Tensions

The worst part about silence is that it is often misconstrued and misunderstood. This is exactly what happened with Pakistani actors, who were expected to condemn the Uri attacks but their silence was misinterpreted into various versions.?

Fawad Khan, last seen in Karan Johar's Kapoor & Sons?was one of the prominent names which were under fire after the whole Pak artists controversy ban. Fawad, who has been in Pakistan since July was shell shocked to read various quotes about him criticising India. Various websites reported several versions of Fawad's statements, that were fake and created just to gain publicity.?

However, all thanks to Fawad's Facebook post that he cleared the air surrounding all fake statements. In a recent post, he condemned the attacks and even tried justifying his delayed silence on the same. Many have again targetted him saying, it was a diplomatic?take. However, one day after Fawad's statement, Mahira Khan too took to Facebook to justify her stand on the Uri attacks. Mahira is all set to make her big Bollywood debut with Shah Rukh Khan in Raees.

Excerpts from Mahira's statement reads:

Twitter

"As a Pakistani and citizen of the world I strongly condemn any act of terror, any loss of human life no matter which soil it is on. I will not rejoice in bloodshed and war. I will always hope for and dream of a world where my child can live without it, and always plead with everyone to imagine a peaceful world.
It has also been in this time my faith in saner minds and goodness has been restored, thank you for the messages, love and support. In the 5 years that I have been working as an actor I believe that I have tried my best to keep my country's respect intact - by being a professional and by representing Pakistan here and elsewhere to the best of my abilities."
