Unfair to target artistes: Priyanka on ban on Pakistani actors

Actress Priyanka Chopra has expressed her displeasure over the demand for a blanket ban on the Pakistani artistes in India in the aftermath of Uri attack, saying it is not justified that actors alone have to bear the brunt.

Since the terror strike last month, there has been a growing demand for a ban on Pakistani artistes, with Maharashtra Navnirman Sena even issuing an ultimatum to them to leave India and Indian Motion Picture Producers Association (IMPPA) passing a motion to ban artistes from across the border from working in the industry.

Recently, Cinema Owners and Exhibitors Association of India announced it won’t release films featuring Pakistani artistes in four states– Maharashtra, Goa, Karnataka and Gujarat.
