Mumbai: After the massive success of ‘Sanam Teri Kasam’ on its re-run this year, fans were eagerly looking forward to the film’s sequel, starring Harshvardhan Rane and Pakistani actress Mawra Hocane.
However, following the India-Pakistan conflict, post the Pahalgam terror attack, ‘Sanam Teri Kasam 2’ featuring Mawra Hocane seems to be out of question.
Lead actor Harshvardhan made his stand clear about ‘respectfully declining’ the sequel if he has to share screen space with Mawra.
Taking to his Instagram handle on Saturday, Harshvardhan wrote, “While I am grateful for the experience however as things stand, and after reading the direct comments made about my country, I have made a decision to respectfully decline to be a part of Sanam Teri Kasam part 2 if there is any possibility of the previous cast being repeated.”
As soon as the actor’s post went viral, fans hailed him as the best.
One fan commented, “United we stand tall. Respect.”
Another wrote, “RESPECT. Rane, you are the best! By the way, Sanam Teri Kasam is famous due to Harshvardhan Rane and the music — the other party doesn’t matter much. Peace.”
Another added, “He has a spine! Proud of him!”
Harshvardhan’s strong decision comes after several Pakistani artists condemned ‘Operation Sindoor’, which was launched by Indian Armed Forces early on May 7 to wipe out several terrorist hubs in Pakistan.
Condemning ‘Operation Sindoor’, Mawra had written, “Strongly condemn India’s cowardly attack on Pakistan… Innocent civilians have lost their lives. May Allah protect us all… may sense prevail. Ya Allah ho Ya Hafizo.” She ended her statement with hashtag #PakistanZindabad.
