Dia Mirza on Fawad Khan’s Bollywood Comeback: “Art Shouldn’t Be Tainted by Hate”

Fawad Khan is set to make his Bollywood comeback in the film Abir Gulaal, where he stars alongside Vaani Kapoor. The movie is generating buzz not only for marking Fawad’s return to a romantic lead but also for igniting online debates. While many fans are thrilled about his comeback, others have voiced disapproval, arguing that Pakistani actors should not be given opportunities in India.
In an exclusive interview with News18 Showsha, Dia Mirza expressed her support for Fawad Khan’s return to Bollywood. She highlighted that art should not be tainted by hatred and expressed her hope for more collaborations with Pakistani artists in the future. Dia Mirza also stated, “It is a political question. If the circumstances warrant a ban on artists, I’ve always believed that art is and should be a medium of peace and harmony. We should never allow art and sport to be mixed with hate. It’s wonderful that Fawad is back in the film, and I hope this opens the door for more collaborative opportunities.
It’s worth noting that Dia Mirza’s comments were made prior to the tragic terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu & Kashmir. Her statements were not intended as a response to recent events, highlighting her belief in the importance of separating art from political tensions.
