Overview

• Pakistani actor Mawra Hocane has been officially excluded from Sanam Teri Kasam 2, and her image has been removed from the first film’s music app posters.
• Other Pakistani actors, including Fawad Khan and Mahira Khan, have been digitally erased from Bollywood film posters such as Kapoor & Sons and Raees.
• Fawad Khan’s latest film, Abir Gulaal, has been banned in both India and Pakistan, with its songs removed from YouTube India.
• Harshvardhan Rane refused to work on Sanam Teri Kasam 2 if Mawra Hocane was involved, citing her criticism of India’s Operation Sindoor as ‘cowardly.’
• Satirical commentary, like Twinkle Khanna’s proposal to re-dub iconic Pakistani songs with Dhinchak Pooja’s vocals, highlights the cultural and nationalist undercurrents of the ongoing boycott.
