Renowned Bollywood star and former Miss Universe Sushmita Sen has come forward in strong support of Pakistani heartthrob Fawad Khan as news circulates about his return to Indian cinema after a long hiatus. Her remarks have added a graceful voice of encouragement to a conversation that has sparked national interest.
In an interview with local media, Sushmita emphasized the importance of keeping art and sports free from political interference. “Art and sports have no borders,” she said. “Creative work flourishes in a free environment, and there should be no restrictions on it. I extend my best wishes to Fawad Khan.”
Her comments come in the wake of growing media speculation that Fawad is set to star in a Bollywood film nearly nine years after his last appearance in India. While some political circles have raised objections to his comeback, many in the Indian film industry, including veterans like Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel, have spoken in favor of the talented actor.
When asked if she would consider working in a Pakistani film, Sushmita responded with characteristic openness, “I would always love to work in a good film, regardless of which country it comes from.” Her response reflects a broader vision of artistic collaboration across borders.
Fawad Khan, who shot to fame in India through acclaimed roles in films like Kapoor & Sons and Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, has remained a beloved figure among Indian audiences despite political hurdles. His anticipated return has rekindled excitement not just among fans but also among fellow actors like Sushmita, who admire his craft.
With both Sushmita and Fawad championing artistic unity, their shared perspective may well inspire a fresh chapter in cross-border cinema—one where talent, not nationality, takes center stage.
