Lahore varsity celebrating Bollywood Day sparks debate online

A Lahore varsity celebrating Bollywood Day as one of its farewell events for the senior batch has divided the internet. While some people wished to go back in time and dress up as their favourite Indian stars, others bashed the students for their “vilifying” behaviour and for “shamelessly” representing an industry that “regularly aims to create anti-Pakistan movies.”

A video, posted on TikTok originally, made rounds on Twitter which started the debate.

While the internet is divided on whether celebrating in such a manner is okay or not, one thing that everyone can agree on is that the students understood the assignment clearly. From Mohabbatein’s Raj Malhotra to Ajay Devgn’s iconic Inspector Bajirao Singham and Student of the Year’s Shanaya Singhania, the students went all in.

Users called out people hating on the students for pretending like they didn't know most characters in the video. 

According to this tweep, there's a bigger problem here. 

Some users argued that there's no need to bash them because the students are just "trying to have fun."

And there was sarcasm.
