Earlier, the Bhaijaan of B-Town questioned the campaign against Pakistani actors working in India, saying they were not terrorists.

Pakistani actors like Fawad Khan, who have worked in India, are being widely condemned in the country for keeping their comments reserved in slamming the attack on Indian soldiers.

The Maharashtra Navnirman Sena was the first to ask Pak artistes to leave India. 

Later, the Indian Motion Pictures Producers Association decided to ban Pakistani artistes from working in Indian movies.
