Mika said that India comes first, and a person should 'think twice' before taking any step. He wrote, “Desh pehle (Country first). Guys, as we all know, the relationship between India and Pakistan isn’t going well right now. Yet some people continue to act irresponsibly. Before releasing any content that involves artists from across the border, they should think twice — especially when our nation’s dignity is involved.”

Mika talks about Fawad Khan's Abir Gulaal

He also talked about how Abir Gulaal, a romantic drama featuring Pakistani actor Fawad Khan, was not allowed to release in theatres in India. Mika said, "There was a film featuring Fawad Khan and Vaani Kapoor that many of us opposed, and yet, some still don’t seem to get the message. What’s more shocking is that a fake singer, after doing 10 shows in India with thousands of fans buying tickets, has now disappeared — leaving fans betrayed and helpless."

All about India Pak tensions

Tensions between India and Pakistan intensified following the Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 people on April 22. In response, Indian armed forces hit nine terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) on May 7 under the codename Operation Sindoor.

In the aftermath of the terror attack, social media accounts of many Pakistani actors, including Hania, Fawad Khan, Mahira Khan, Ali Zafar, Atif Aslam and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, were withheld in India.
