Additionally, it has been observed that the way Pakistani Muslim women are portrayed in Bollywood movies frequently feeds into unfavorable stereotypes. They are frequently portrayed as being powerless, meek, and lacking in agency. In addition, Pakistani Muslim women are portrayed in numerous Bollywood movies as being highly exoticized and sexualized.

Due to the perpetuation of harmful stereotypes and the potential to encourage prejudice against Pakistani Muslim women in India and other countries, this form of portrayal may be damaging. It can also reinforce negative assumptions about Muslim women in general, which would increase marginalization and prejudice.

Zunaira Inam Khan, the wife of Pakistan’s heartthrob Usman Mukhtar, who is a frequent user of social media and is outspoken about her opinions on social issues, was one of many who brought attention to this issue. She works at the Institute of Regional Studies as a productive associate research analyst.

She specifically made reference to the Muslim characters portrayed by Deepika Padukone and Katrina Kaif in the recent movies “Pathaan” and “Tiger” on Twitter.

The 27-year-old stated, “So let me get this straight, Bollywood hates Pakistani men and shows them all as namazi topi-wearing fanatics but it fetishizes Pakistani women as sexy, bikini-wearing ISI agents? I…don’t know how to feel about this.”

Pakistani Muslims are frequently portrayed in Bollywood films as the “other,” one-dimensional, and too simplistic characters. This may contribute to damaging preconceptions about Muslims in general as well as the marginalization of Pakistani Muslims in India.
