No sequel? Sanam Teri Kasam co-stars clash as Mawra blasts Rane's war drama

Pakistani starlet Mawra Hocane came at her Sanam Teri Kasam co-star Harshvardhan Rane like a wrecking ball after he slammed the door shut on a sequel with her — all because she minced no words condemning India for targeting innocent Pakistani civilians with missiles, drones and shells.

After its latest hostilities, a patriotic Mawra blasted India, which Rane’s pride couldn’t stand.

Earlier on Saturday, the Bollywood star shared two Instagram stories saying: “While I am grateful for the experience, however as things stand, and after reading the direct comments made about my country, I have decided to respectfully decline to be a part of Sanam Teri Kasam Part 2 if there is any possibility of the previous cast being repeated.”

In a post on her Instagram story, she told Rane to stop using war for personal gain and reminded him that there are more serious things happening.

Mawra’s reaction was: “I don’t know whether to call this unfortunate, sad or comical…someone I expected to have basic common sense has risen from deep slumber with a PR strategy”.

“Look around you, look at what’s going on! We could all hear explosions..children in my country died due to an unjustified cowardly attack, innocent lives are lost and after multiple attempts to still maintain grace and peace, a befitting response by my armed forces have caused a frenzy in your country last night. While our nations are at war, this is what you come up with, a PR statement to get attention? What a pity!” she wrote.

“I’ve always shown respect, love and gratitude for everyone I’ve worked with and I’ll continue to do so. I was offered to collaborate and I did. I’ll never spew hate like you just did,” said the actor. She also called out Rane for the timing of his posts.

“Making such announcements at this volatile time, it’s both shameful and bizarre to see you so hungry and desperate. Our countries have been at WAR… two nuclear countries have been at war, this is not the time to discuss films, to mock one another, to bring each other down. Only goes to show your ignorance in such a sensitive situation. I guess it’s not just your news media that’s gone bonkers.

“If throwing all the respect away and using my name after nine years is getting you the headlines… you might be surrounded by the wrong team. You just DO NOT use war for your personal benefit. So many lives lost… it’s a grave situation, you’ve fallen from grace for nothing!”

Mawra closed her statement on an emotional note, and said that she was praying for civilians on both sides and Pakistan’s soldiers, not “immersed in the thoughts of what my next FILM should be!”

“My country above everything else! Pakistan Zindabad,” she said in her comment.

Though it first hit screens in 2016, Sanam Teri Kasam still packs a punch — its surprise re-release in February wowed many by winning big at the box office nine years later. After its success, talk of a sequel gained traction, and both lead actors had shown interest in the idea.
