Many Pakistanis are unhappy and hurt as a result of Bollywood lyricist and screenwriter Javed Akhtar’s nasty remarks against Pakistan coming to light.

Akhtar received an invitation to the famous Faiz Festival’s seventh iteration, which was held in Lahore. Akhtar made negative remarks about Pakistan during one of the panel discussions, which would later cause a problem. After the ceremony, none other than Pakistani artist Ali Zafar extended an invitation to the renowned Indian poet to stay at his house.

Lollywood stars surrounded Akhtar as Zafar sang karaoke songs in his honour. Zafar also posted a touching video to his own Instagram.

Although there appeared to be no conflict between the artists from the two countries, Akhtar’s anti-Pakistani remarks sparked a controversy and led the Jhoom singer to invite celebrities to his star-studded celebration of Akhtar.

The Channo singer has stepped forward to address the problem under intense public scrutiny and claimed that he just wasn’t aware of such sentiments and doesn’t accept any disrespect for his people or his country.

Zafar posted Instagram stories to convey his thoughts. The Madhubala singer slammed individuals who came on the Sajaniya singer’s support for entertaining Akhtar while privately being displeased and messaging him after not being invited in his statements.

Zafar wrote, “Guys, I love you all and truly value your praise and criticism equally. But I always request one thing- verify facts before reaching any conclusion or judgment.”

“I was not present at the Faiz Mela nor aware of what was said untill the next day when I saw it on social media,” he added.

“I am a proud Pakistani and naturally no Pakistani would appreciate any statement against its country or people specially at an event meant to bring hearts closer than further,” Zafar emphasized.

“We all know how much Pakistan has suffered and continues to suffer at the hands of terrorism and such insensitive and uncalled for remarks can deeply hurt the sentiments of so many people, ” the singer concluded.

Although the singer of Mere Dildar Sanam made it clear where he stands with his people, netizens weren’t entirely satisfied with his words and reacted to his new post.
