Ameya Khopkar, general secretary of Maharashtra Navnirman Seva (MNS) led by Raj Thackeray, has issued a warning to Pakistani national Seema Haider over her debut film. Taking to X (formerly known as Twitter) Khopkar wrote in Marathi, “We are firm on our stand that a Pakistani citizen should not have any place in the Indian film industry. Seema Haider is a Pakistani woman currently in India. There were also reports that she was an ISI agent. Some of the upstarts in our industry are making the same Seema Haider as an actress for fame. Why are producers not ashamed?”
“Giving a public warning to stop such spectacles immediately, otherwise be ready for the MNS strike action,” Khopkar added.
Seema Haider is presently shooting for her debut film ‘Karachi to Noida’, produced by Indian filmmaker Amit Jani. Recently a video of her auditioning for the film also went viral on social media. The film is based on the love story of Seema Haider and Sachin Meena. Amit Jani said earlier that he would offer a role in his film to Haider after witnessing the former and her husband's financial struggles.
