Twitter going to war over Fawad’s Bollywood project

Fawad Khan, the acclaimed Pakistani actor, is rarely involved in controversies but recently became the center of one following the recent announcement of his return to Bollywood after an eight-year hiatus.

Known for his roles in films like Khoobsurat and Kapoor & Sons, Khan’s decision to work alongside actress Vaani Kapoor has sparked heated discussions across social media platforms.

The news of Khan’s comeback, first reported yesterday, has drawn a barrage of reactions, with many expressing disappointment and frustration. Critics on Twitter and other forums have voiced concerns over Khan’s choice to resume his Bollywood career, citing ongoing political tensions between India and Pakistan as a backdrop to their discontent. While many Indians are thrilled about his return, Pakistanis have been more critical, leading to mixed reactions overall.

Writer Sadaf Haider shared her thoughts on X (formerly Twitter) about Fawad Khan’s Bollywood comeback. She wrote:

“Fawad Khan: I love him, I hate him, I love him, I hate him. He has everything except Humayun’s confidence. But Fawad, I always fail at hating you. Okay, go ahead and work with a C-grader. We’ll endure it – we have no choice.”

as an ardent admirer of Fawad Khan 's craft let me be very clear some Fawad Khans fans should stop treating him above Pakistani industry or Pakistan
Whatever he is today is due to PAKISTANI DRAMAS and Pakistan, that he can sit at home be relevant and eat off advertisements https://t.co/h8K8b2GA7M
