Urwa Hocane hits back at Swara Bhaskar for calling Pakistan 'a failing state'
In a series of Twitter posts, the Rangreza actor Rasheed wrote how he had no knowledge of who Bhaskar was till he came across her now infamous interview with critic Rajeev Masand. He went on to add that her comments were typical of someone with an "old-school mentality".
Rasheed said Bhaskar's comments appeared to be a publicity-garnering exercise aimed at outshining her Veere Di Vedding co-stars Kareena and Sonam Kapoor.
The Yalghaar actor went to term the starlet an attention-seeker delivering statements reflecting "her negative mantra in making a name for herself".
Rapping Bhaskar for terming Pakistan being a "failing state" and not commanding much influence in the film trade, Gohar wrote, "Let me tell you that Pakistan is the fifth largest market for Bollywood films. It's the Pakistani fans and authorities that can determine the fate and worth of an Indian film at the global box office."
Perception of Pakistan different from reality: Swara Bhaskar
"It's odd that vocabulary is the one aspect of Pakistan you seem to have taken a keen interest in. I suppose others would look into the literary advancements but clearly abusive language is your sphere of interest," Rasheed posited in a stinging riposte to the starlets claim on how Pakistani's had a "worse vocabulary than Indians".
The Digest Writer actor added that the manner in which Pakistanis gave others respect, spread peace and extend knowledge to "ignorant attention seekers" was representative of the nation's intellectual standing. "There is no power on earth that can undo Pakistan," he quoted to conclude in the famous words of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah.
