While Indian celebrities have always been quite vocal on the political matters particularly Kashmir supporting their national interests, Pakistani celebs on contrary remain on the safer side most of the time. This was also observed recently when not even a single statement of condemnation came out from Pakistani showbiz industry over the disturbing prevalent situation in Kashmir.
Just yesterday Hamza Ali Abbasi called out the hypocrisy of our celebs, asking the reason of their silence whether it was lack of their knowledge on the issue or fear of losing their chances of work in India and annoying their Indian fan base.
