Popular Pakistani actor Fawad Khan is set to make a much-anticipated return to Bollywood with his upcoming film Abir Gulaal, where he stars alongside Indian actress Vaani Kapoor. The news has created a lot of excitement among fans, as this marks Fawad’s comeback in a romantic role after several years. However, the announcement has also led to some online debate.

While many fans across India are thrilled about Fawad Khan’s return to Indian cinema, some critics have spoken out, saying that Pakistani actors should not be allowed to work in Indian films. This has once again sparked the ongoing conversation around art, politics, and cross-border collaborations.
In the middle of this debate, Bollywood actress Dia Mirza has come forward to express her support for Fawad Khan and his return to Bollywood. In an exclusive interview with News18 Showsha, Dia shared her thoughts on the issue and made a strong statement in favor of peace through art.
Dia Mirza said, “This is a political matter. If there is a reason to ban artists, then it has to be based on strong circumstances. But I have always believed that art should bring peace and unity. We should never mix art or sports with hate. It’s great to see Fawad back in a film. I’m looking forward to watching it, and I hope this leads to more opportunities for such collaborations in the future.”
Her comments have been appreciated by many who believe that art and culture should be used to bring people together rather than divide them. It’s important to mention that Dia Mirza made these comments before the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu & Kashmir. Her statements were not a response to or reflection on those tragic events.
Fawad Khan became a household name in India after appearing in three Bollywood films: Khoobsurat (2014), Kapoor & Sons (2016), and Ae Dil Hai Mushkil (2016). All three movies were successful and helped build his strong fan base in India. His performances, charming screen presence, and versatility won hearts across the country.
Now, with Abir Gulaal, Fawad is all set to return to Indian screens after a long break. The film has already generated a lot of buzz online, not just for the story or cast, but also for the larger conversation it has sparked about cultural exchange and political boundaries in the film industry.
As fans eagerly wait to watch Fawad Khan once again in a Bollywood movie, many hope that this film will help bridge gaps and promote more India-Pakistan collaborations in the field of art and entertainment.
