He expressed that art and entertainment shouldn't be mixed with politics
Mumbai: Salman Khan has come out in support of Pakistani artists and has said that art and entertainment have no boundaries, adding that they shouldn’t be mixed with politics.
At an event recently, Salman said, “Now that everything is digital, Indians love to watch each and every entertainment show, including popular Pakistani shows . So, art and entertainment have no boundaries. Entertainment is evaluated by what common people want to watch.”
The actor went on to add, “Politics and art should not be mixed. This is not what common people want. If someone wants a Pakistani actor who can portray a role better, nobody can put a constraint. Bollywood has a huge number of fans in Pakistan and earns a good share of income from the neighbouring country.”
Recently, Shiv Sena had said that it would not allow any Pakistani actor, cricketer or performer to step on Maharashtra's soil. Seeking a ban, the party targeted Pakistani actors like Fawad and Mahira Khan, who are trying to gain a foothold in the Hindi film industry.
