that is disgraceful if they done that.
by the way there has to be some music festival or some sort or she gets an invite from say Mehdi Hassan or female singers of her age. most of ours are sadly dead like Malk Pakhraj and Noor Jahan our artists are the key to bring us closer.normally the pakistani artists go to India to make it big
because well there is just no contest there. the exposure, experience and career progression is unparalleled. whereas the visits to Pakistan are mostly on personal invites or fund raisings.. Indian artists have been generous to the calls of Imran Khan in the past.
but I must say, even during Zia era and then later on during Nawaz and Benazir era, the Indian top artists have been state guests (re movies or finding their roots, Kapoors went to Peshawar).
I guess due to current hostilities and all this war on terror there has been tit for tat reactions from either side, e.g. Nusrat Ali was banned from coming back to India (allegedly) by Bal Thakery for singing a song over the suffering of Kashmiris.
during 80s and 90s, PTV dramas were very famous because of strong storylines and well Indian movies have been and still are liked in pakistan as there is no competition there. re tv with the flooding of so many channels I dont see much distinction now.
there is a swamping of our actors and actresses on either side in dramas. I think this trend must be celebrated rather than fawned upon.
xenophobia is a natural animal instinct and not just a Pakistani trait mind you,
it cant be helped. but if the Pakistani artists and models in the same field up their game then the advertisers will switch to them too
its nothing personal, they got to make their brand appealing with the endorsement of the top Gals and guys.
It's a bit cheesy post. but what did you mean banned by Bal Thackeray?
Do you know the definition of Xenophobia? if yes, think for a second if that term is valid here.
I can see a lot of things in there but let's not dissect each other's words
