Amid ongoing tensions between India and Pakistan many celebrities have been promoting the need for peace between the two states via social media.

Singing sensation Momina Mustehsan said, “Ask those who have attended funerals of loved ones about wars. It is never the solution. We all want peace.”

“Relationship with all. When two neighbours fight, both homes are affected,” tweeted former Pakistani cricketer Shahid Afridi.

Bajrangi Bhaijaan actor Salman Khan shared that Pakistani actors working in Bollywood are not terrorists and should not be kicked out of the country. “In this day and age, it is better for everyone to embrace peace. Terrorists and artists are two different entities. Our government grants them visas and work permits. They aren’t terrorists, they are artists,” he stated.

However, Salman Khan later faced backlash for his comment by Shiv Sena, an extremist Indian party asking him to ‘migrate to Pakistan if he liked Pakistani actors so much.’

Saif Ali Khan shared, “The world is open to our film industry and our film industry is open to talents from around the world, especially across the border. We are artists who talk about love and peace.”

Film-maker Jami stated, “India and Pakistan are like brothers. The worse reactions come out when two brothers fight.”

Meesha Shafi posted a picture on Twitter and captioned the image, “No more war, please.”

The time is ripe to spread love, not hate.
