Actor Saqib Saleem weighed in on the Kashmir situation on Twitter. However, he was targeted by trolls for his comments, who told him to ;go to Pakistan’. “I am a proud Indian who loves his country. But if I feel like something’s amiss I will ask questions. If you got a problem with that then I am afraid it’s your problem to take care of. Some of you are hell bent on sending me to Pakistan. Please don’t worry about me I am fine where I am,” Saqib tweeted.

A user wrote: “But still I want to know that what should we ask to Kashmir people? Aisa kya hua jo galat he. (What is that so wrong?)”

To which Saqib had replied: “Kuch nahi Bhai sab theek hai (Nothing is wrong, everything is fine.) Communication black out, no one (can) get in touch with their families, curfew lock down hai poori Valley mien, all the elected representatives are under house arrest, logon ka future uncertain hai (future of people is uncertain). Par aap tension mat lijiye nothing major (But you don’t take tension. Nothing major.)”

His sister, actor Huma Qureshi also requested all to be sensitive and refrain from making irresponsible commentary at this hour. The Jolly LLB 2 actor, whose family lives in the valley, tweeted: “Everyone with opinions on Kashmir. I humbly say this -- you have no idea of the life, bloodshed and loss of Kashmiris (Pandits and Muslims). Please refrain from irresponsible commentary. There are people - women, children, old and sick people. Put yourself in their shoes at this very moment and be sensitive.”
