Pakistani actor fawad khan has expressed his condolences over the pahalgam terrorist attack that killed 26 humans on april 22.
'Deeply saddened to hear the information about this heinous attack,' Fawad posted on social media.
'Our thoughts and prayers are with the sufferers of this scary incident, and we pray for power and restoration for his or her families in this difficult time,' he added.
The tragic killing of harmless tourists in pahalgam, Kashmir, has come at a time while Fawad Khan's hindi movie Abir Gulaal—wherein he stars contrary to Vaani Kapoor—is slated to launch on May 9.
The film could have marked his going back to indian cinema 9 years after we last saw him in Ae dil Hai Mushkil and Kapoor & Sons in 2016.
The uri assault came about quickly after, and the Federation of Western india Cine workers (FWICE) association placed a blanket ban on Pakistani artists appearing in bollywood after the uri attack.
There has been, however, no legitimate ban from the indian authorities.
Shah Rukh Khan's 2017 release Raees confronted issues too, because it featured Pakistani actress Mahira Khan.
Post-Raees, bollywood kept a distance from Pakistani actors, singers, and musicians, fearing their films could no longer see the light of day due to boycotts and threats from political events.
In october 2023, the bombay high court disregarded a petition banning Pakistani artists from appearing in india, declaring it'd be a violation of their right to freedom of expression.
The courtroom observed, 'There is no evidence to aid the declaration that Pakistani artists pose a protection threat.'

After the Pulwama terror attack in february 2019 claimed the lives of forty CRPF personnel, the industry employees' union issued a declaration, which they reaffirmed after the pahalgam assault.
The assertion study, 'In the wake of these repeated attacks, FWICE reaffirms its unwavering dedication to countrywide interest and team spirit. We reiterate our directive, originally issued on february 18, 2019, calling for entire non-cooperation with all Pakistani artists, singers, and technicians within the indian movie and amusement industry'.
FWICE said that it's going to take all the necessary steps to ensure that Fawad's Abir Gulaal is no longer released in India.
Regardless of this ongoing directive, we have been made aware of the recent collaboration with Pakistani actor fawad khan for the hindi movie Abir Gulaal'. In light of the recent attack in pahalgam, FWICE is once more forced to issue a blanket boycott on all Pakistani artists, singers, and technicians participating in any indian film or entertainment tasks. This consists of performances or collaborations going on everywhere within the global,' the announcement study.
'FWICE would like to emphasize that any member of our business enterprise or its associated institutions, such as the actors, directors, other technicians, manufacturers, or production houses, discovered cooperating with Pakistani personnel can be subject to disciplinary action. In addition, we will take all essential steps to make certain that Abir Gulaal isn't always released in India.'
