A number of Bollywood stars including Amitabh Bachchan, Shahrukh Khan and Priyanka Chopra condemned the recent Uri attack in Indian-occupied Jammu and Kashmir.

Salman Khan's father Salim Khan followed suit, in a manner that certainly does not befit a man of his stature. Khan, a celebrated scriptwriter, tweeted that no one listened to what Sharif had to say, according to his own admission.

your army, your parliament or your people. Wonder if your respected family listens to you ???
— Salim Khan (@luvsalimkhan) September 20, 2016

1/4 Beg your pardon Mr Sharif, If people those who gave you your name knew what your characteristics would be,

"Beg your pardon Mr Sharif, If people those who gave you your name knew what your characteristics would be, they would have named you Be-Nawaz Sharir," Khan also tweeted.

"A big blunder has been committed. Its your own admission that no one listens to you in Pakistan be it, your army, your parliament or your people. Wonder if your respected family listens to you???" he said in another tweet.

Ongoing: ‘I was hoping the problem would be over’

Salim's comments come in the wake of Sunday's terror attack on an Indian army camp in Jammu and Kashmir which left 18 soldiers dead. India blamed the attack on Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammad.

Np | 8 years ago | Reply @mani: Pakistan contributes less then 1% revenue to Bollywood movies. Ek Tha Tiger which was a Salman movie, was banned in Pakistan was a blockbuster hit anyway. You are overestimating the importance of the Pakistani market to Bollywood revenues.

Frank | 8 years ago | Reply @Malik Saab Completely untrue. The vast majority of viewing in Pakistan consists of Pakistani news and political shows or Pakistani drama. Indian moves are way past their heyday in Pakistan and Pakistani dramas are considered far superior to Indian ones by the general population.

Lakhkar Khan | 8 years ago | Reply @snob: Very well said. Keep on writing.

snob | 8 years ago | Reply Look whose talking. A screen clown producing gibberish which found its fanbase among illiterate majority only. And lol, his introduction is, "father of salman khan". Otherwise, nobody knows who is he. Cant improve on that.

Ajju | 8 years ago | Reply @darwesh Muslim in Hindu majority India are in much better conditions than so called Muslim countries like Pakistan, Iraq, Syria, Egypt, Somalia, Afghanistan, Libya, Lebanon, Iraq, Somalia, Bosnia, Sudan , Kosovo, Yemen. And don't forget philistine.

Ajju | 8 years ago | Reply Banned Indian movies who is holding your hand. Face reality that you don't have power to banned Indian movies. And there is no courage in your so called superstars or actresses to condemn India or take anti Indian stand.

Lakhkar Khan | 8 years ago | Reply From this 100% real Khan to that wants to be Khan, no one cares who you are and what you think. Don't like Bollywood movies, don't listen to it's music and probably never will.

mani | 8 years ago | Reply Pakistan should ban movies in which his sons (Salman, Arbaz, Sohail) and son in Law Atul Agnihotri work or produce. Within no time this fake or freaky Khan will submit public apology

Raisani | 8 years ago | Reply Who's this old uncle and why is he using our PM's name? Probably so that he can come in news. Cheap publicity stunt.

Darvesh | 8 years ago | Reply How cruel how ill mannered are Hindus in crisis one should see them now if they have missed in the past. Thank you Muhammad Ali Jinah for giving us Pakistan may your soul rest in peace.

Muhannad | 8 years ago | Reply I have great respect for Salman's father but this time I think he has made a poor error of judgment.

Deepak | 8 years ago | Reply This is in bad taste. No matter how deep your differences are, they should be politely put across. We are running short of people who can be role model.

Malik Saab | 8 years ago | Reply Whatever the reason is but our public and especially establishment will keep on loving the Indian celebrities. Recently I visited the Pakistan's biggest cantonment region. Interestingly not only Illegal TATA sky is operating under the rightful nose of Pakistan Army, but interestingly known Pakistani channels are banned, while Indian news and movie channels are in the top categories. All in all 90 percent of the total channels in majority cantonment regions of Pakistan belong to India. So we are actually dying for bollywood. Our establishment hate our own Pakistani channels but they love Indian channels. Pakistan Army know very very well that its own people are involved in promoting the TATA sky receivers around Punjab and Sindh. Almost 90 percent cable operators in Cantt regions are now using Indian DTH receivers.
