First it was Hamza Ali Abbasi who reacted strongly to Saif's comment that he didn't have faith in Pakistan and now it's Shaan who has declared Waar on the Bollywood actor.

Surprisingly, the ban on Saif's Phantom didn't get people as worked up as the Bollywood actor's comment about losing faith in Pakistan. Shaan gave the B-Town actor a piece of his mind by asking him to look inwards before taking out negativity on his neighbouring country:

He wasn't the only one who was outraged at Saif, Pakistanis soon took to Twitter to blow off some steam and show their annoyance over the incident:

One shared a similar opinion as Shaan:

#SaifAliKhan said I have no faith in Pakistan.lolllzzzz like we care :D who r u man nobody have faith in your movies :p

Others dedicated memes mocking the actor:

Another turned the tables and questioned him:

Note to Saif Ali Khan -- would the Indian Board of Censors allow a Pakistani movie on the Samjhouta Express?

Saif Ali Khan says he has no faith in Pakistan -- ironic given that a great part of his father's side of the family migrated to Pakistan
— omar r quraishi (@omar_quraishi) August 24, 2015

And one showed her loss of faith in the actor:

Riza Sapunxhiu | 8 years ago | Reply Dear Pakistani liberals, leave Pakistan and migrate to India because all your loyalty lies with that country. Dear Pakistani non-liberals, stop watching Bollywood movies. Dear Indian trolls, stop your round the clock spamming of Pakistani forums if this country is so unimportant to you. Dear Indian actors, stop acting like hurt puppies when your movies are banned in this country if it is such a tiny and unimportant market for you.

usman777 | 8 years ago | Reply @indian - pandits you may remember were instrumental in subjugating muslim kashmiris (whether secular or not) with the state machinery resulting in 100,000 of deaths and thousands of rapes... compare to pandit casualties... Don't test me on knowledge. you will lose.

TiffinBox | 8 years ago | Reply @Anon, TiffinBox was made in India hence knows India. TiffinBox has travelled a lot and had talked to many nationals. TiffinBox even knows the strength and weakness of the country he was manufactured in. I hope u satisfied now.

Indian | 8 years ago | Reply @usman777: we care about muslims as much as kashmiri muslims care about hindu pandits.

sadaf | 8 years ago | Reply @Pratik: if you don't know than i am telling you he is the legend of pakistan and everybody knows him in pakistan. He is already a famous man so he does not need to do this for gaining fame. This act show his patriotism for pakistan if you have any problem than get lost.

Jagit Singh | 8 years ago | Reply Shaan is a hyp0crite. How ironic! He accuses Saif of making movies full of "hatred" for Pakistan, while he himself starred in a movie, full of hatred for Indians, the premise of the movie being that India is behind the acts of terror in Pakistan! But the whole world knows that it is Pakistan which has been directly or indirectly linked to all recent acts of terrorism in the world.

Jagit Singh | 8 years ago | Reply This guy lives in lala land!

Inder | 8 years ago | Reply One question to Pakistanis : Are you covering up for Mr. Hafiz Sayeed? If your responses are only for the nationalistic outrage arising from Saifs (ill-thought) remark, no issue.

Anon | 8 years ago | Reply @TiffinBox: And what makes u think all Indians will agree with him?

khurram shahzad | 8 years ago | Reply @Khan Gul: You dont have faith in Pakistan. Means you have established your faith on TTP outlaws? Take life bro.

Attal | 8 years ago | Reply if you want to judge the Taliban thought of Pakistanis you should read the comments. when it comes of extremism, the liberals, secular, educated and Tibetans are on one page in Pakistan.

Awais | 8 years ago | Reply Lolx.. I was actually thinking while reading that Shan could have done better in this bash.. but after reading these insecure Indians comments I am sure he was spot on.... I don't know on one side each and every commenter saying no body care about Pakistan and Shan.... Go get a life indians u care enough to come read our paper and even comment on what u read...

zara | 8 years ago | Reply @Udaya Bose: u know what, we do reply back to those obsessed with us!

zara | 8 years ago | Reply @Kushal: third class? go get some sense. U dont know who u r talking about!

Timorlane | 8 years ago | Reply Leave the vermin it's not worth it

Hardweer Gupta | 8 years ago | Reply Saif just frustrated from flopping at the box office....

shahid | 8 years ago | Reply @Kushal: Absolutely, we are not worried about what this guy says, this so called Saif, says what on faith... what is his faith ??? Born Hindu in a muslim house to a Hindu Mother, lives with a Hindu girl, calls himself Saif Ali Khan, of which he is neither; as a artificial Khan of Bhopal and artificial as his movies, he is a Hindu with a muslim name.. so much for his FAITH ; and he talks about FAITH ???

Humza | 8 years ago | Reply If Saif talks against terrorists, he is "faithless"? Really??

Kolsat | 8 years ago | Reply Who is this fellow Shaan? He does not seem to understand English because when saif Ali said he has no faith in Pakistan he was referring to the Pakistan's Film Censor Board and not the people. Furthermore this person Shaan shhould know that Indian Muslims do not need someone like Martin Luther King to free them because they are quite happy to be in India rather than in any Muslim country.

Lakhkar Khan | 8 years ago | Reply @SB: Is that why you Hindus are trolling around Pakistani publications? Thanks for taking the time off from raping.

Funny politician | 8 years ago | Reply Hi, who is Saif Ali, is he famous?

Omer | 8 years ago | Reply yes these guys line up for bollywood jobs coz your actors are not man enough!!!

Mujtaba | 8 years ago | Reply Well said Shaan. Who cares about Saif a faithless & worthless person

Ahsan Khan | 8 years ago | Reply @Sameer: Everyone knows who overuses Twitter all the time so save your two cents, you'll need them soon. I'm glad too that you know how Indian films are ridiculed across the world. A mass film making machine doesn't make your film industry cinema-worthy. Come out of your cocoon son and smell the reality.

Pratik | 8 years ago | Reply Lol. Who is this shaan? Atleast Saif is known in whole of Pakistan. But no one cares to know about this shaan or ali abbasi. As if they' ve won oscars. Saif said, he lost faith in pakistan, by that he meant Faith in Pakistan censor board. Not pakistani People. But this dumb actors want fame so they bash saif online and gain some eyeballs with some news. Saif' s One of the best actors of Bollywood, and He' ll always remain so. Stop him if you can! :D

rabia | 8 years ago | Reply Sameer, when Saif Ali Khan "busies" himself with anti-Pakistan films and statements, its only fair that he gets a befitting reply. Its always hilarious how many times Indians come running to Pakistani forums to claim that Pakistan is not worth caring about. If it wasnt, you wouldnt be obsessively crying about it. That goes for the Indian actor in question too.

Lakhkar Khan | 8 years ago | Reply @Sameer: Stop stealing Hollywood stories, MTV and VH1 choreography and Pakistani music then see Indian films are worth a dcik. SHAMELESS Copycats……

Pakistani awam | 8 years ago | Reply Great to see our actors and awam in general reacting to statements of blywud actor and thats enough to prove the morale highup of great Pak nation ..jeway Pakistan

Khanzada | 8 years ago | Reply @Sameer: bro wait for Yalghaar then we'll see you!

Paris | 8 years ago | Reply Thankyou someone spoke at least,

Union Jack | 8 years ago | Reply Even our actors can shake up the whole of Pakistan. Love the way Pakistan is reacting like the actors of lollywood punjabi movies.

samir | 8 years ago | Reply @Sameer: rofl...seems like you and your compatriots find time enough to come over here and express amusement...here, let me fwd you a proxy or two so you may get busy again with one of those recently-banned naughty sites!

N.S | 8 years ago | Reply Ninety five percent of Bollywood films are Hollywood rip-offs. Whole cinematographic effects, scenes, visuals and storylines are copied from there...even the posters and POS are copied exactly like those Hollywood films....and the Urdu/Hindi songs are mostly of Pakistani origins and copied from old Pakistani films. What is original in an Indian Bollywood film...zero, zilch, need to come up with some semblance of originality.

Sibte O | 8 years ago | Reply People, people, ease off. Feel sorry for Saif. He belongs to the showpiece category of Indian Muslims who are 'paaloed' by the establishment to display to the world what a secular country India is while brushing under the carpet the carnage in the few thousand anti-Muslim riots since 47. Although pitifully few in number, these jokers have to be holier than the pope and outdo Pakistan-hating non-Muslims just to keep their show of patriotism above board. They live in constant apprehension that one fine morning a Hindutva or RSS type will call them traitors because of their religion. And if they say in reply that they are really secular a-believers they are still not spared because of their name. Remember how even Dilip Kumar was harrassed and Shabana Azmi could not find a house to rent because she was Muslim. So, my fellow Pakistanis, feel sorry for the Saifs there and happy that we don't have to be like them. And for Saif in particular who has had a string of flops and is frantically kicking Pakistan to win back popularity while his Hindu wife acquires hit after hit (read money too)....

Khan Gul | 8 years ago | Reply I am Pakistani from FATA and I have no faith in Pakistan either !!!!

Karachite | 8 years ago | Reply Have some faith in the Indian caste system. Muslims are treated worst than Dalits and a few khans are presented as an eye wash. Read any independent reports.

James Bond | 8 years ago | Reply Lol!!! The movies your putting are the HINDI TRANSLATION of western films! Which your audiance cant understand so go get a life boi!!!

ABS | 8 years ago | Reply @Sameer: Says the guy who was first to comment :p

Shan | 8 years ago | Reply @Sameer: Yes, Indias. Even Naseeruddin Shah and Angelina Jolie knows that well.

Just like | 8 years ago | Reply Who cares about Indian trolls on Pakistani newspapers. Please find something more productive and positive to do with your life.

Faiz | 8 years ago | Reply @Sameer: Yes everyone knows that Bollywood is crap.

True | 8 years ago | Reply I can't imagine the vulnerability of some people. Though bearing no ill will, it seem quite bizarre that they bad mouth yet there people line up for new Indian releases, their actors hop around Mumbai, their singers play here etc ..... Why not address to your own people first. Why don't they stop coming here, dare to turn down offers from Mumbai. Why Indian flicks are still played out there. Although I'm not a big fan of Hindi movies & the declining standards of it but why this rant. Who said Muslims in India are "slaves". Does this guy know what he is talking about. I believe it's his slave mindset. Last days news that in Religious Census data Muslims rose to 0.8% in India.

usman777 | 8 years ago | Reply fake khans. you want real khans come to KPK, come to karachi. we will give you real khans.

usman777 | 8 years ago | Reply Villains with protocol. Classic. 100,000 dead, 9,000 women raped by state in Kashmir and he has no faith in Pakistan. 2000 murdered by state in Gujrat. 4000 Sikhs murdered in 1984. we pakistanis need to wake up. every death that happens here, every disunity, every tragedy is celebrated by this enemy in perpetuity. you cna read it in 99% of the comments here and those are AFTER et moderation. unite pakistani brothers and sisters.

Another Indian | 8 years ago | Reply LOL.. Saif had Pakis all riled up. In fact he has done a better job with this than any of his movies...

Khan | 8 years ago | Reply This guy was in Humshakals. Enough said.

Mr. Pak | 8 years ago | Reply You know what happened to Sunny deol and ajay devgan when they started working in war movies against Pak. It failed miserably all over India. Saif is on the same path, after few days no one recognize him as an actor.

Udaya Bose | 8 years ago | Reply Why are Pakistanis getting so worked up over what an Indian actor says. Are they so insecure? Maybe they themselves are not sure about Pakistan.

Shahana | 8 years ago | Reply Shan has nailed it right,it's Saifs way of hiding his flops,,wt a shame for an actor who cannot win the hearts by his talent, he couldn't have gone more low,, Shahana Peshawar

Striver | 8 years ago | Reply Well said Shaan. You've spoken for all the self-respecting Pakistanis. Phantom is their best reply to WAAR. WAAR did not portray Indians in bad light. In fact the character was quite strong. This alone goes to show we hold no grudges in our hearts against Indians.

India always (From Jammu) | 8 years ago | Reply Nd I appreciate the maturity level of Saif Ali Khan that he isnt replying to these useless statements.....:) Peace

Grace | 8 years ago | Reply @Sameer: What's even more interesting is how so many Indians are obsessed about posting about him on Pakistani news sites. Saif Ali Khan means nothing to Pakistanis but he only is showing his obsession with Pakistani like so many Indians. Do you expect us to just ignore his nonsense? Shan has as much right to his opinion as anyone else. Proud of you Shan!

someone | 8 years ago | Reply I hope that now SAK has insulted Pakistan, no Pakistani actor with some self respect would work in India and no self respecting Pakistani would watch Indian movies.

Anum | 8 years ago | Reply Well said Shan he's just a Bollywood puppet foolish man has ho sense we as individuals give them what they call fame but I feel so sorry for him that he dint realise rather than trying to be a hero he's proved do the biggest fool lost all his respect . These ppl don't actually what Pakistan has in terms of talent we r a threat to these shallow ppl . Ppl who r sure abt themselves talk like that they no what they are but yes losers think by talking in such a lame manner he's lost a lot shows how small is mind is ii actually feel sorry for him May God give him some brains .

Saif ki Oukat | 8 years ago | Reply @Sameer: I know. India's B-wood has gone down the toilet like Saif's life.

abhi | 8 years ago | Reply So Shaan has started distributing certificate of faith, what is next will he call Saif an apostate?

fact | 8 years ago | Reply @Sameer: But at least we don't interfare or poke noses in other's matter. Nor our movies are obsessed with making india as a topic. Even our drama's are more realistic then indian dramas which are mostly based on caste system and some weird story that doesn't seem to exist in real life. Nor Pakistan copies stories from hollywood. Our content is purely OUR.

Baloch | 8 years ago | Reply @Sameer: Neither we care, story is copy from Hollywood, Music from Pakistan, what you got?

Bostonian | 8 years ago | Reply @Sameer - the countrys' whose trolls like to comment on pakistani news websites.

James | 8 years ago | Reply Mr. Shaan......India does not need another Martin Luther King.......may be Pakistan need another Jinnah to remind the people why Pakistan was created for...

SB | 8 years ago | Reply I can understand.Difficult to digest bitter truth. Clear from these reactions that Saif has hit where it hurts the most. :)

Baloch | 8 years ago | Reply Salute to Mr.Shaan, Indians are using their liberal Muslims against Pakistan now. I support RSS in this regard atleast they show their hate in front against Muslims, not hypocrite like their so called muslims like KHANS, .!!

I am a Khan | 8 years ago | Reply Saif's comment was wrong. But Shaan's comment was also immature. Why does he start personal attacks on not only saif but the other Khans also who have never said anything against pakistan or pakistanis. Please Mr Shaan your gandasa type comments are not impressive. Hamza Ali Abbasi's comments were more matured as he replied only to saif's comments and did not resort to personal attack on all khans.

Point | 8 years ago | Reply Saif you really made our day :) . I was so bored but your idiotic and narrow-mindedness just made me happy with all the replies you are getting every other day.

Sonia Butt | 8 years ago | Reply Shaan the tired hero of yesterday years trying desperatly to be relevant when younger more talented actors are taking over he talks about ...being failhless.... he had no problem acting & being involved with his Lollywood that produced vulgar, filthy films & Hamza Abbasi acted in a film with scantily clad women in seductive dance he a actor-maulana has a hypocritacl stance are both missing a point. Any ban if its an Indian film or YouTube is wrongit stifles the creative aspect of society. If material offends you DO NOT WATCH it. When people & Goverment act as censor then its dangerous as to who decides what is good or bad for you!

TiffinBox | 8 years ago | Reply Okay, lets do a head count ..... 1 Saif Ali Khan + 1.25 billion Indians + more than half the world have not have faith in Pakistan. You guys seriously need to introspect and if you say you don't care then do not expect the world to care either.

Lakhkar Khan | 8 years ago | Reply RIGHT ON, Shaan!! Who cares about this so called "Muslim" and so called "Khan"? I am a full blooded Khan and I have full faith in Pakistan and it's people. BOYCOTT Bollywood and it's substandard anti Pakistan films.

Usman | 8 years ago | Reply Time for another Ayesha Omar item number to cool temperatures.

Amit Lunia | 8 years ago | Reply Yes Shaan can act as pied piper and can lead all faithfuls to the land of pure, we much be very much relieved, but donot know whether he will find any Good that he knows so much about Saif to count his number of flops, i do not know whether saif knew about him This Film is produced, directed,written acted by Muslims, all its location were Muslim countries

Bairooni Haath | 8 years ago | Reply All these guys line up for Bollywood jobs!

PakPhilmPhan | 8 years ago | Reply I'm somehow getting the feeling that Phantom is going to be a DUD! 5th dud for Mr Kapoor!

Kushal | 8 years ago | Reply Saif doesn't need lectures on faith by these 3rd class actors.

Sameer | 8 years ago | Reply Lol...Saif Ali khan's one statement keep pak actors busy.... by the way everyone knows which countries movies are not worthy to talk :)
