Faiza Hasan, a talented and versatile Pakistani actress, is known for her impressive range and powerful on-screen presence. Recently, she took a bold stand during a time of national tension when India launched a sudden attack on Pakistan. Without hesitation, Faiza voiced her support for her country, joining several celebrities who used their platforms to stand in solidarity with the nation. However, her message went beyond patriotism—it was a call for empathy and respect within the entertainment industry.
Amidst rising criticism of celebrities like Fawad Khan, Atif Aslam, and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan for not publicly posting in support of Pakistan, Faiza Hasan addressed the growing judgment from both the public and industry peers. She expressed disappointment over how fellow artists were being labeled as unpatriotic. In her view, every individual should have the freedom to express their support in their own way—without being pressured or attacked.
She strongly criticized those who, in her words, act like “vultures,” calling out their peers just to gain likes or attention. Faiza emphasized that any artist living in Pakistan, paying taxes, and contributing to the industry already proves their loyalty. She urged the public and her colleagues not to behave like the BJP or extremists who suppress differing opinions. Instead, she called for mutual respect and understanding, especially during difficult times.
However, her remarks sparked a mixed reaction online. Some users appreciated her perspective on respecting others’ choices, while others firmly disagreed. Critics argued that silence in times of national crisis equals complacency. “Public figures must show open support during war,” one commenter wrote. Another said, “Indian actors united instantly—why can’t ours?”
While Faiza Hasan defends freedom of expression and discourages judgment, the debate continues. Her stance has certainly reignited discussions around patriotism, responsibility, and unity in the Pakistani entertainment industry.
