Sidharth Anand hits back at Pakistani celeb Hania Aamir
Hania Aamir posted a story that featured the following text: "So sad and unfortunate to know that there are artists out there in this day and age who are aware of the power that the cinema holds and still go ahead and feed the riff between the two countries. I feel sorry for the artists who try to bridge the gap by trusting their art as a medium. Distasteful; let art breathe,"
One netizen replied to this story on 'X' (formerly Twitter), saying, "Didn't she literally work in a movie which was anti-India? If indian celebs have no issue with the anti-India stuff Pakistani celebs do in movies, why do Pak celebs care so much?" The director reacted with a thinking face emoji.
