Ex-Miss India wants Pak co-star to be allowed in Mumbai
September 8th, 2009 - 12:09 pm ICT by Sampurn Wire
Actress Nikita Anand is extremely upset hearing talks about her Pakistani co-star Muhammar Rana being refused entry into India on the pretext of Mumbai terror attacks.
Muhammar, who is a superstar in Pakistan, stars opposite Nikita in Partho Ghosh’s forthcoming film “Ek Second– Jo Zindagi Badal De’ along with the director’s favorites Jackie Shroff and Manisha Koirala.
When the ex-Miss India heard the talks about Rana’s visa being denied, she promptly shot, “Not all Pakistani’s are terrorists. Muhammar is a cute Pakistani and I want him in India for my premiere, no questions asked.”
The actresses grouse is justified too. If performers such as Adnan Sami, Atif Aslam, Meera, Javed Khan and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan can freely perform in India and even be treated as ambassadors of cultural exchange, why should there be any discrimination for her co-star Muhammar Rana.
Nikita, who made a successful debut as an actress in Prakash Jha’s Dil Dosti Etc opposite Shreyas Talpade and Imaad Shah, will also be seen in Nileish Malhotra’s “Monopoly’ where she plays a grey character similar to the one Eva Green played in the James Bond blockbuster “Casino Royale’.
