May 19, 2025 05:50 PM IST Ridhi Dogra talks to HT about feeling scared and helpless as her hometown Jammu was targeted by Pak drones, and speaking against the release of her own film. The last month was filled with anxiety and dread as India and Pakistan were on the brink of a war following the terror attack in Pahalgam that left 26 dead. India’s retaliatory Operation Sindoor against terror bases in Pakistan and Pak-occupied Kashmir led to Pakistan responding with artillery firing and drone attacks against many major Indian cities, particularly those close to the border. One heavily-targeted city was Jammu, home to actor Ridhi Dogra, among millions of others. In conversation with HT, the actor recalls the scary times.

Published by Parlour News

The All India Cine Workers Association (AICWA) demands a ban on Pakistani artists, including actors like Fawad Khan and Hania Aamir. The association has strongly condemned the remarks made by the artists following Operation Sindoor. Following horrifying terror attacks at Pahalgam, the Indian army launches a responsive strike at nine terror camps across Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir at midnight on May 7. The strike was directed at several terror camps across the borders, and the country was responsible for training the terrorists and funding them in numerous terrorist activities across India. In response to the successful operation, Pakistani actors, including Fawad Khan and Mahira Khan, criticized India’s action and called it cowardly. However, the artists from Pakistan are facing heavy backlash and boycott calls after the All India Cine Workers Association (AICWA) condemned their remark regarding the operation. The association has pushed Indian entertainment industry to stop blindly backing these artists in the name of art. On May 7, AICWA released its official statement on X (formerly Twitter), criticizing Pakistani actors’ response to the …

Priyadarshan picks his fave We wrote about Bobby Deol playing the antagonist in Priyadarshan’s adaptation of his 2016 Malayalam movie, Mohanlal starrer, Oppam (Round two of blind man’s buff, May 3). Now we know that it is Akshay Kumar who is playing the ruthless antagonist in the movie. An insider tells mid-day, “Bobby was not replaced by Akshay. Both were among the three options that the makers had while casting for the project. There were three actors that were being considered and along with Bobby and Akshay, Akshaye Khanna was the other choice.

Abir Gulaal, a new film starring Pakistani actor Fawad Khan and Vaani Kapoor, was set to release May 9. But the film’s release was put on hold following the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22. Now the makers have also removed the film’s songs from their YouTube India channels. Abir Gulaal was supposed to be Fawad Khan’s grand return to Hindi cinema, after a long period of tension between India and Pakistan. During this time, India had imposed a ban on Pakistani artists. The situation was perceived to be de-escalating before the Pahalgam attack, which claimed the lives of several tourists. There have been renewed calls for sanctions to be imposed on Pakistan, and earlier this week, it was reported that Abir Gulaal would not be released according to plan. Now, a romantic track titled ‘Khudaya Ishq’ and a peppy dance number titled ‘Angreji Rangrasiya’ have been taken down from YouTube.
