• Shamoon obliquely responded to Mehwish Hayat’s tweet.
• She asserted that this was an opportune moment for Indian actors.
• Bollywood community is deafening because pain knows no boundaries.

Shamoon Abbasi, a well-known actor in both film and television, is adored by his fans for his strong opinions and his willingness to speak his mind. This time, he spoke out about a few Pakistani journalists and celebrities and their obsession with Bollywood super stars after Mehwish Hayat’s tweet about Indian actors came to light.

The Ishrat Made in China Actor was obliquely responding to Mehwish Hayat’s tweet, in which she said that the silence from the Bollywood community is deafening because pain knows no boundaries of country, race, or religion.

She asserted that this was an opportune moment for Indian actors to express their support for Pakistan by putting fan concern ahead of nationalist politics. She replied, “A kind word or two would not go amiss. As a nation, we are hurting.” This clear message was interpreted negatively by the general population as well.

In response, Shamoon Abbasi said he didn’t understand why Pakistani celebrities and entertainment websites wanted Bollywood artists to discuss Pakistan’s terrible flood situation. Why does it matter so much, he questioned. What is this obsession with Bollywood that prevents us from concentrating on Pakistan? Here is what he stated in response to Mehwish’s tweet criticizing Bollywood actors.
