Filmfare was slammed by Akshay Kumar fans for not nominating him in one of the coveted categories, Best Actor (Male). Now, there is a prominent filmmaker who has refused to attend or accept Filmfare awards because they have nominated Pakistani artistes. Atif Aslam, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, and Fawad Khan are the artistes that have been nominated in their respective categories.
The filmmaker said, “It’s a matter of self-respect. We are not welcome in Pakistan. They brutally kill and maim our soldiers. And we behave as if our cinema can’t do without their artistes.”
Shaina NC, a BJP spokesperson, said, “Relations with Pakistan have deteriorated to such an extent that there is a move now to declare Pakistan a terror state on an international level. Given the current crisis, I don’t think we can have Pakistani artistes coming here.”
