We all know about those Pakistani actors, musicians and comedians who have worked for Bollywood and Indian TV. But we have not talk about those Pakistani celebrities who refused to work in Bollywood because they preferred quality over money. Also getting a strong role is not the only thing I should mentioned here. Some Pakistani actors like Hamza Ali Abbasi and Shaan rejected many offers from Bollywood due to patriotism where other actors refused because they did not found their roles in movies enough good and can cause to ruined the image of Pakistan.

The news about Mona Liza who is known as Sara Lore, Veena Malik and HUmaima Malik has been in news due to their vulgar scene in Bollywood movies but at the same time, the awkward performance in Indian movie has ruined their overall image in the eye of their Pakistani fans. Today, they are not much successful as compare to other actors who use to be ranked them but now they are popular than them.

Whatever they did was their choice and we should agree that Pakistani actors did not fail to impress with their performance in India as well. Specially, the actors like Fawad Khan, Mahira, Javed Sheikh and Ali Zafar are popular among Indian audience where our singer like Rahat Fateh Ali Khan has given tough time to Indian musicians in their own country.

Following is the list of Pakistan celebrities who refused to work in Bollywood movies and each of them has their own valid reason and we should appreciate them for this.

Shan Shahid

“I refused India once. When I read the role, I knew that they needed a new terrorist face and I said no. In Pakistan, I live in people’s hearts. That’s a huge responsibility. I cannot let them down.”

Hamayun Saeed

He did one of the Indian movie Jashan but later he refused all the offers came from Indian directors. He says “I am just not interested. I have so much work here as an actor and producer, I really don’t have the time.”

Fahad Mustafa

He has been offered by Mahesh Batt in 2015, but he refused to work in Bollywood movies due to better offers in Pakistan.

Hamza Ali Abbasi

“I would rather work on fostering my own industry. I respect actors like Fawad Khan and Mahira Khan who are working in India while staying true to their roots but personally, I want to develop professionalism and better pay here rather than go in search of it across the border.”

Mehwish Hayat

She has been offered from Bollywood for movie Jut James Bond but she refused to work.

Faisal Qureshi

“People have to make money too. One film in Bollywood pays more than 10 films here. Presently they might be doing what people think are unexciting roles but things will change. It is a start and gives newcomers a hope. When they are sidelined and mistreated on Indian shows, I don’t like it one bit. But how long will they treat them badly and stifle their talent? Our talent has now crossed the borders.”

Fatima Effendi

“Anees Bazmee called me and praised my drama serial and asked me to work in his film. I asked him about the story and the character I’d portray but refused to sign the movie because it required me to play a bold character.”

Sanam Jung

“When I said I would not do bold scenes, they replied they could ‘cheat’, but even if they cheat a scene, the audience will think I have done it. So Bollywood is out of the question.”
