Feels like home in India: Fawad Khan

Actor says "it doesn't seem right for him to get involved in political matters"

Fawad Khan is arguably one of Pakistan’s most loved actor, but the heartthrob has received no less love across the border and he was not one to shy away from acknowledging it.

“I have experienced tremendous love and hospitality in India and all Indians have given me a lovely and warm welcome," the Khoobsurat actor was quoted as saying by Indian Express.

“Last time too and even this year, it feels like family here in India and where ever I have gone in this country it has always been an amazing experience. I do miss my family. But these guys [Sidharth Malhotra and Alia Bhatt] make up for it,” Fawad said while addressing the media at the trailer launch of Karan Johar's directorial Kapoor & Sons on Wednesday.

Fawad was recently the target of India's extremist party Shiv Sena who threatened to ban Pakistani artists who cross the border. But the singer-turned-actor seems to be unaffected by the political tiff. "I am a politically illiterate person and I don’t keep up with current affairs. So for me to get involved in these matters doesn’t seem right," said Fawad.



Kapoor and Sons captures the on-and-off bond between Fawad and Sidharth who play brothers, their parents and the overall ups and downs in the Kapoor family. But things change when Alia comes in the frame. They seem to fall in love with her and that’s when their lives take a new turn.
