Pakistani actress Mishi Khan has criticised Indian actress Kangana Ranaut for making remarks against Pakistan and its people during the ongoing Pakistan-India tensions.
Responding via a video posted on her official Instagram account, Mishi Khan addressed Ranaut’s recent statements, which targeted Pakistan.
"How did you like Pakistan’s response? Hope you enjoyed it," Mishi said in the video. "Speaking against Pakistan and its people has cost you dearly."
The actress further warned Ranaut to think carefully before making such comments again. “We are here to defend our country and our people. Before pointing fingers, take a look at your actions,” she added.
Mishi Khan also proposed a symbolic “middle ground challenge,” comparing it to a cricket match. “I challenge you — one punch from me would be enough,” she said.
Ranaut has previously drawn criticism for her strong political views, particularly when commenting on sensitive international issues.
Pakistan-India ceasefire
Pakistan and India agreed to a full and immediate ceasefire on Saturday following days of intense military exchanges that raised fears of a full-scale conflict between the two nuclear-armed neighbours.
The announcement was first made by US President Donald Trump and later confirmed by Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar, Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar, and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The ceasefire came after missile strikes, drone incursions, and retaliatory operations across the border.
Tensions flared after a deadly April 22 attack in Pahalgam, Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), that left 26 civilians dead. India blamed Pakistan-based elements without providing evidence; Islamabad rejected the claim.
India responded by closing the Wagah border, revoking Pakistani visas, and suspending the Indus Waters Treaty—moves Pakistan labelled as an “act of war.”
By May 6–7, Pakistan launched Operation Bunyan-un-Marsoos, claiming to have downed five Indian jets, including Rafales, and intercepted 77 Israeli-origin Harop drones.
The US played a central role in facilitating backchannel diplomacy. Secretary Rubio and Vice President JD Vance held talks with senior leaders from both countries, including PMs Shehbaz Sharif and Narendra Modi, as well as top defence and intelligence officials.
Following Trump’s announcement, both countries suspended military activity across land, air, and sea, though allegations of ceasefire breach were also reported from both sides of the Line of Control (LoC).
