A few days ago, the trailer for the much-anticipated film “Fighter” was revealed, featuring Hrithik Roshan, Anil Kapoor, and Deepika Padukone. However, this unveiling sparked a heated controversy as Pakistani celebrities, including Hania Aamir, Adnan Siddiqui, and Zara Noor Abbas, expressed disappointment over the portrayal of Pakistan.
Pakistani Celebrities’ Discontent
Pakistani stars took to their social media handles to voice their concerns about the film’s depiction of their country. The controversy gained momentum when Hania Aamir’s Instagram story went viral, drawing attention to her previous role in the 2018 movie “Parwaaz Hai Junoon,” where the Pakistan Air Force was portrayed in conflict with India.
Netizens Response
The online community quickly pointed out the apparent contradiction, questioning why Pakistani celebrities express concern when Indian stars seem unfazed by similar themes in Pakistani movies. A tweet highlighted Hania’s past involvement in a movie deemed “anti-India,” leading to a noteworthy reaction from “Fighter” director Siddharth Anand, who simply responded with an “Oh!!”
Siddharth Anand’s response added an intriguing layer to the controversy, emphasizing the potential double standards in the entertainment industry. In another instance, he reacted with a thoughtful emoji to a tweet in Hania’s thread.
Hania’s Perspective
Despite the uproar, Hania Aamir continued to share her perspective on her Instagram story. She expressed sorrow over artists who, in today’s age, contribute to escalating tensions between countries through their work. Her post criticized those who fail to recognize cinema’s power in bridging gaps and labeled the portrayal in “Fighter” as “distasteful.”
