Twinkle Khanna reacts to removal of Mawra Hocane and other Pakistani actors from posters
In the wake of India-Pakistan tensions, Pakistani actors including Mawra Hocane, Fawad Khan, Mahira Khan and others were removed from the posters of their respective Hindi films on music platforms. Mawra’s photo was scrubbed off from the official album art of Sanam Teri Kasam on on music platforms such as Spotify and YouTube Music. Meanwhile, Fawad’s photo is no longer visible on the poster of his movie Kapoor & Sons, and Mahira has been removed from Raees poster. Twinkle Khanna has now reacted to this. In her satirical column, she suggested replacing songs by Pakistani singers Abida Parveen and Farida Khanum with versions sung by Indian internet personality Dhinchak Pooja, who went viral for her cringe music in 2017.
In her Times Of India column, Twinkle Khanna wrote that she noticed Mawra was edited out from the album cover of Sanam Teri Kasam. “After the recent re-release of ‘Sanam Teri Kasam’, I have been listening to the songs on repeat. While browsing Spotify, I realised actor Mawra Hocane had been edited out from the album cover. Further digging reveals that other Pakistani actors like Fawad Khan and Mahira Khan have been similarly erased from their online posters,” she wrote.
Twinkle, known for her satire, further added, “Not wanting to be left behind in doing my duty as a good citizen, I propose that we get all of Abida Parveen and Farida Khanum’s songs redubbed by our very own Dhinchak Pooja. That will really teach the Pakistanis a lesson.”
Meanwhile, the romantic song Zaalima from Raees, originally picturized on Shah Rukh Khan and Pakistani actor Mahira Khan, now features only Shah Rukh on streaming platforms like Spotify, YouTube, and YouTube Music.
This came in the wake of tensions between India and Pakistan following the Pahalgam terror attacks and India’s strong retaliation through Operation Sindoor.
