Islamabad: Pakistani actor and singer Farhan Saeed has reacted to India’s recent digital ban on Pakistani dramas following an attack in Pahalgam. The Indian government has enforced strict online restrictions, blocking several leading Pakistani entertainment channels on YouTube and cutting Indian viewers off from popular Pakistani content.
In a magazine interview, Suno Chanda and Mere Humsafar star Farhan Saeed addressed the issue. “Our views might get affected, but it doesn’t matter. We are 26 crore people who love our dramas. We didn’t start making them for Indian audiences. If they stopped watching, it’s not our loss; it’s theirs. They watched because our content was good. Good content will always find its way,” he said.
Actress Kinza Hashmi, who joined the conversation, echoed his views. Indian audiences joined us only a few years ago. It was always the Pakistani audience first. So it doesn’t matter,” she added.
The Indian digital crackdown has sparked strong reactions across the entertainment industry, but Pakistani artists remain confident that their content will continue to thrive.
