Rajeev Khandelwal Opposes Ban on Pakistani Actors in India

As cross-border collaborations between Indian and Pakistani artists dwindle to almost zero, Rajeev Khandelwal, the actor famous for the drama “Kahin To Hoga,” has spoken up against the ban.

In a recent interview with Bollywood Bubble, Rajeev discussed his experience working with Humayun Saeed’s production and recalled the warm reception he received from Pakistani fans. “The Pakistani audience has always shown me so much love and respect. I remember loving the kind gifts I received and the wonderful conversations,” Khandelwal said.

Additionally, he said, No artist, whether from Pakistan or anywhere else, should face a ban based on political factors. Such decisions should not dictate the career paths of actors.”

Rajeev Khandelwal also worked in the Pakistani drama Sun Leyna (2006), which was written by Seema Ghazal and produced by Humayun Saeed.
