Comedian Raju Srivastav cancels show in Pakistan

Saddened by the terrorist attack on the Indian army at Uri, comedian Raju Srivastav has cancelled his show that was scheduled to take place in Pakistan. He had apparently received an invitation from the neighbouring country for a comedy show.

In a statement, Srivastav said “Pakistan had invited me for a comedy show. But we keep seeing that it has become a war like situation, our soldiers are being killed. I have seen the tragedy that has stuck the families of the soldiers who have been killed. Pakistan has always been betraying us. We always extend our hand for friendship, show how large hearted we are, but we have gained nothing from it”
“In the current situation that we are in, how can I go to Pakistan? How can I make people laugh there? How can I do comedy, when comedy comes from the heart?”
“I don’t want to go to Pakistan, our India is good.. here we always have love and respect for each other. There is brotherhood. We are happy here” Srivastav said.
The actor also extended his support to Maharashtra Navnirman Sena’s 48-hour ultimatum to all Pakistani artistes to leave the country.
In a week since the terrorist attacks in Kashmir, the issue of Pakistani artists working in the country has snowballed into a big enough controversy that could potentially affect the business of films featuring actors from the neighbouring country. Debaters have questioned why actors from across the border like Fawad and Mahira Khan haven’t condemned the attacks on India.
The Uri attacks has also made the relationships between both the countries quite tensed.

  • india got no proof about this attack. they are just trying to hide how many innocent people they have killed in kashmir. just because they found pakistan written on there weapons doesn’t mean that pakistan did it. its like saying a person who owns a pizza shop in india is basically an italian.

  • good move by raju
    more than 7 bollywood films from 10 are banned in pakistan
    pakistan didnt give indian artist visa to perform in pakistan
    pakistan watch most bollywood films by pirated copy

    artist like lata mangeskar, anupam kher, sonu nigam and many more pakistan didn’t allow him to perform than why we allow them?

    Today one pakistani terrorist caught by indian army, terrorist said that he is from pakistan and trained by pakistani army

    more than that pakistani actor who earn from india may not say any single word for Uri attack patankot attack
    and at the time of paris attack, nice attack, they change their profile to Eiffel tower to show how sad they are..

    its a time for indian to wake up and boycott pakistani actor

    for me india comes first then bollywood

  • STOP POLITICS MAN. Kashmir is not adding to economy it is just a tax burdon . 600 Million poors with out basic necessities but 400 trillion lost to gora arm sellers every year. Y not focus poority? why not focus Bihar, Rajhistan Mahrashtra, Dehli Punjab Gujrat CP and others? why we wasting our money to Gora arm sellers? MNS get wisdom. Let peace prevail in south asia. solve Kashmir issue with Pak. Get short cut trade route with Pakistan Tajikistan Turkamaistan Krghystan Kazikhistan Uzbekistan Afghanistan. let south asia b Europe.

  • zee zindagi channel should stop showing shows from pakistan. we have enough talent and shows of our own.
    either zindagi should start new indian shows or show re run of zee’s previous class ics.

  • Pakistan is responsible for all the troubles in India as they want to avenge their partition and are jealous in nature as well …. Pakistani school text books have all the text against India unlike India they only preach and teach hatred…..moreover they are also involved in troubling Afghanistan, US,Russia,China and west……Pakistanis are basically Monsters(Raktbeej) To hell with Pakistan and Pakistanis….Go to hell and stay there forever….!!!

  • Don’t know what to say. Bashing fawad khan and mahira because they didn’t condemned it? They haven’t supported it too guys . Did Shahrukh Khan, Amir and salman tweeted about uri attacks too? I think not. Let politicians do their work. Culture is beyond any boundaries. Fawad always talked nice words about India even if he is at Pakistani shows.

  • Good decision by Raju Shrivastava.
    I hope Pakistani comedian will not participate tomorrow on Comedy Night Bachao at Colors Channel till The Qayamat.

  • Well done raju and well said.we are not against artist.but for us country is first.very sad to see some idiot support pak artist.these idiots the main reason to make our country weak.bus saheedo ke liye ek din social sight pr formality dhikha do aur jab action lene ki bari aye to diplomatic ho jate h.amerika ne unko aukat dhikhai isliye aj tak un pr attack nahi hua.amerika ke logo ke liye unki country first h.hamare dash m to gaddar geedado ki fauj h Jo desh ko kamjor banane m lage hue h.Hume in logo ko inki aukat dhikhani hogi.kyoki in jaise logo ke karn hum gulam rahe.

  • @Don,
    Stop behaving like a coward & face the reality.All the proofs r against Pakistan and u r supporting them.We r no more vulnerable like we were earlier.This time its “MODI SARKAR” & Now no more talks Only strict action.Enough is Enough,we had a lot of peacefull talks with ur nation (Now no more because ur the “LAATO KA BHOOT”who will only understand Action.Strict Action.Lot of mercy to u & ur nation(now no more).U & Bangladesh r just a small piece of tukda of our nation and ur blabbering about us.”BETA BAAP SE BADA KABHI NAHI HOTA”,”Ek Muthi Bhar ke Ho “,”HAATH ME HAI KABHI BHI MASALLL KE RAKH SAKHTE HAI”
    #”APNI AUKAAT ME RAHO”.
    Otherwise,One Fine Day news will come that INDIA destroyed (KAL KA BACHA AAJ KA ANDA(PAKISTAN).

  • Kashmir Lena h aa jao le lo.dhoodh magoge to kheer denge Kashmir magoge to cheer denge.PR ab to tumhe paani bi nahi denge kyoki sap ko kitna hi dhoodh pila do jahar hi ugalata h

  • All Indian Citizens (whoever fan u r)
    lets gather up together and bash these Pakistani people (which r present in this site) in such exteme levels so that they all stop their comments against our nation & leave this site forever.Lot of Bhaichara and Brotherhood,Now let them see the true Luv that we have for ur #INDIA and hate towards their terrorist country #PORKISTAN.
    Lets do it from now onwards in every new article even if it is not related to #Uri Attacks.Like it & Go for it if ur a true INDIAN.

  • Who only actors? If you want to ban then ban complete relations with Pakistan. Send their embassador back and bring back our embassador. And send back all other Pakistani people who are here for any reason. They PM Nawaz Sharif calls terrorists as martyrs. This means he himself is a terrorist. India should close all relations with Pakistan.
    But I am completely against baning movies which were shot before attack.
    MNS is just doing publicity stunts. They are evil politicians.
    It’s not about just actors. India must break every relation with this terrorist country.

  • @aadi srk Twitted his condolences. Don’t know about Amir and salman. But is someone doesn’t tweet, it does not mean that he is anti national.

  • “Pakistan has always been betraying us”

    what a dumb statement. why does he blame every pakistani for this terrorist attack ? its like saying every muslim is a terrorist

  • @death ranger 5:32..
    I M INDIAN AND I WONT BASH ANYONE HERE.. WE ARE HERE ALL FRIENDS..
    ALWAYS REMEMBER GREAT WORDS..
    100 GUNHEGARO L MARNA GARV HAI BUT EL BE KASOOR KO MARNA BUZDILI..
    HERE ALL ARE FRIENDS WHO SO EVER HE SHE BELONGS FROM..
    FAN WAR IS DIFFERENT THING BRO.. BUT THIS IS NOT A WAY TO TREAT ANYONE..
    ARE THE MEMBERS WHO COMMENT RESPONSIBLE FOR ATTACK?

  • Why only targeting artists???? Why not break all the relations with Pakistan,huh??? All the muslims in India shud also break their all their relations with their loved ones. Right???? I really hate it when ppl value nation over humanity. Art and politics are two different things. Better not to mix them. Fawad and Mahira did’nt killed those 18 martys so why target them???

  • why india has always problem with pakistan according to survery 78 percent indian hate pakistan wtf wrong with you guys grow up give peace a chance

  • Banning Fawad and Mahira when they haven’t done anything is stupid ! Fawad has always been very good with indian medias, promoting peace and condemning violence.
