Another Pak actress takes dig at Salman, says Bollywood films just promote crime

Mumbai: While Pakistani artistes have been banned from working in India post the terrorist attacks in Uri, statements of some of them against Bollywood have made headlines recently.

After old footages of actresses Mahira Khan and Saba Qamar taking jibes at the likes of Salman Khan and Hrithik Roshan, the latest to join the bandwagon is singer-actress Rabi Pirzada.

During the launch of her new film, Rabi took copious digs at superstar Salman Khan, making comments alluding to his films allegedly promoting criminal activities.

She said, "Every other film released in Bollywood happens to be about crime or some criminal activities, especially films of Salman Khan. My question is, what are Indian film-makers teaching the youth? It seems like they are just promoting crime. There was a time when Pakistani cinema was at its peak, making films with moral lessons and plots highlighting social ethics. We were educating the society through our films but Bollywood has changed all of that.”

Well, no words were minced and candour was thrown around with abandon.
