Bollywood actor Harshvardhan Rane has slammed Pakistani actress Mawra Hocane. Recently amid the ongoing tensions between India and Pakistan Harshvardhan made several remarks about Sanam Teri Kasam 2. For those unaware Mawra Hocane starred in the films first instalment. Amid the strained relations between the two countries Harshvardhan stated that if the original cast is retained for the sequel he would not be part of it. Following his statement the production house promptly announced that Mawra Hocane would not be in the film. In response Mawra dismissed Harshvardhan’s and the production house’s move as a mere PR strategy. She wrote Someone I expected to have basic common sense has risen from deep slumber with a PR strategy… While our nations are at war this is what you come up with? A PR statement to get attention? What a pity! Reacting to Mawra’s remarks Harshvardhan has now given her a befitting reply once again. Harshvardhan Rane got angry after a personal attack by Mawra Hocane. Rane wrote on his Instagram Story That sounded like an attempt at personal attack. Fortunately I have tolerance to overlook such attempts - but have zero tolerance for any attack on my nation’s dignity. The Sanam Teri Kasam actor further added An Indian farmer would pluck out the unwanted weed from his crop its called WEEDING the farmer doesnt need a PR team for this act its called common sense. I simply offered to step down from Part 2. I am fully within my rights to choose not to work with individuals who label my country’s actions as ‘cowardly’. So much hate in her speech so many personal remarks. I never mentioned her name or resorted to calling her names. Didn’t attack her dignity as a woman. I intend to maintain that standard. It is worth mentioning that along with Harshvardhan Rane the makers of Sanam Teri Kasam 2 have also strongly condemned Mawra Hocanes comment. The makers stated that they do not support Pakistani artists working in India either.
