Thakur Anoop Singh On Ban Of Pakistani Actors

When asked about the ban of artists from Pakistan, the actors asserts, “I completely go with the government decision. When it comes to certain aspects and patriotism, we better stick to our country and their priorities first. Art and all can survive later on if everything goes well. That’s a joint decision by both the governments. But when it is about our nation, my nation will always come first.”

He added, “And if the government decides, one should just abide by it and don’t have secondary opinions about it. On top of that, humare India mein actors kam hai kya? Ek se ek khoobsurat actors hai, handsome actors, skillful actors hai. (Are we short of actors in India? We have incredibly beautiful actors, handsome actors, and skillful ones too). There is no need to entertain, especially under circumstances in this. So I do completely stick with my government. It’s completely the government’s call.”
