The video, reportedly from 2023, shows the Pakistani prime minister looking at the actor as she walks away with the award.

According to News18, the incident took place during an event at the Governor House in Pakistan’s Punjab province.

The video was shared in 2023 by Pakistan’s UNewsTV with a caption: “Shahbaz Sharif “deep-scans" Mawra Hussain while giving award, video goes viral".

This was after Mawra had condemned India's Operation Sindoor, launched in the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack in which 26 people were killed.

Mawra Hocane was also digitally removed from the poster of Sanam Teri Kasam on music apps.

India's Operation Sindoor

Operation Sindoor was India’s direct military response to the April 22 terror strike at Pahalgam in Kashmir that killed 26 civilians in what was the worst attack on civilians since the 26/11 Mumbai strikes.

India launched the operation in the early hours of May 7, bombing nine terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). The pre-dawn strikes —which killed at least 100 terrorists —sparked a series of attacks and counter attacks across the western border, involving fighter jets, missiles, armed drones, and fierce artillery and rocket duels.

In one such counterattack on the night of May 9-10, the air force struck targets at 13 Pakistani air bases and military installations. After four days of fighting, military hostilities were stopped on May 10 as the two nations reached an understanding.
