‘When will this love affair with Pakistan end?’: Kangana Ranaut questions Bollywood

‘When will this love affair with Pakistan end?’: Kangana Ranaut questions Bollywood

Kangana Ranaut has questioned Bollywood's frequent affection for Pakistan, specifically after the release of Sunny Deol's film Batwara 1947. The movie's storyline follows a love affair that is interrupted by the Partition of India and Pakistan. Kangana criticized those in the industry who displayed emotional support for Jantar Mantar protests while remaining silent about the current plight of children in Jharkhand.

She questioned the industry's persistent obsession with Pakistan, asking when this love affair will end, despite the passage of many years since Partition. Kangana expressed her pride in being dedicated to her country, stating that she makes a living in India and fights for it. Earlier, Kangana had also taken aim at Naseeruddin Shah, accusing him of being financially supported by Pakistan while fighting for India.

This stance was echoed in an interview with The Wire, where Naseeruddin Shah acknowledged that actors may only take action when their conscience allows, but only when the opportunity arises.
