Rishi Kapoor wishes Pakistanis a 'Happy Youm-e-Azadi'

Perhaps we can forgive the actor for his banter on the Pakistani cricket team

After receiving backlash and demeaning hashtags from cricket fans in Pakistan, Rishi Kapoor seems to have made an effort to redeem himself for his Pakistani viewers with his heartwarming tweet wishing Independence Day to his fans at this side of the border.

Looks like the Bobby star is all about peace and forging friendly ties across the border.

Wishing all my friends from Pakistan a Happy "Youm -e- Azaadi" ka din. Happy Independence Day! Let Peace, brotherhood and Love prevail! pic.twitter.com/Fi3dAZxDIG

We will give you full points for trying, Sir. Besides, there is nothing more heartwarming than stars and famous personalities calling out for improving ties between the two countries. This is more than welcome!



Fans love Kapoor's heartwarming wish and lauded him for his gesture:

Thank you boss. Now that's how you rock
And amen. May Allah prevail peace and brotherhood amongst our two sovereign nations. Love N regards.
