Instant Bollywood shared a video on their official Instagram handle in which the actress is sharing her opinion on Pakistani actors making a comeback. She said that there shouldn’t be any ‘sarhad’ for the creative field and that creativity is born from freedom. She said, “Dekhiye mujhe itna sab nahi pata. Mujhe sirf pata hai ki hunar aur creativity mein koi boundaries nahi hoti. Honi bhi nahi chahiye. (Look, I don’t know much about all this. All I know is that there are no boundaries in talent and creativity. Nor should there be.)
(Kyunki yehi ek cheez hai…Ek sports hai, aur ek humari creative field hai, jahaa par our creativity is born from freedom. So I wish that for everyone. There is no Sarhad for that. (Because this is the one thing….One is sport, and another is our creative field [film industry] where our creativity is born from freedom. So I wish that for everyone- there should be no borders for that,” she added.
Netizens are unhappy with Sushmita Sen’s take on Pakistani actors entering Bollywood
Soon after the video was posted, the netizens flooded the comment section, expressing their disagreement. A user wrote, “Creativity to sab field main hoti hai dusri field asman se nahi tapakti agar rok lagega to sap pe lagna chiae or agar kisi ek field main rok nahi to bakki ke business main bhi nahi honi chaiae … Army wale pagal hai jo apni Jaan de rahe hai Boarder pe??? Or India main Actors or Actress ki kami hai jo Pakistan se bulane padte hai???”
Another wrote, “What about Terrorism then? Do you agree that there is no sarhad for terrorism also like creativity Madam Sen?” A third user wrote, “Lol, He is lobbying for Pakistan.” “They do want to come to India cause of the exposure but none of them are working with Indian stars in their country,” a user wrote.
