Nupur Sharma is an Indian politician and lawyer. She has worked with many well-known BJP leaders. She is a prominent political figure and in 2010 she was appointed as the national spokesperson for BJP. Recently, she made headlines for making extremely brash and illucid comments about Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H). This has enraged the Pakistani and Indian celebrities and many of them have spoken out against the demeaning remarks made by Nupur Sharma.
Faysal Quraishi, one of Pakistans most loved actor, was the first one to speak out against such heinous remarks made by Nupur Sharma. Faysal clear-voiced his opinion against the remarks made by the political figure. He asked people to stand up and speak out against the harsh remarks made by Nupur Sharma. He asked people to not stay quiet during this time and make sure the world knows that we, as a nation, will not stand such shameful remarks.
Shaan, another respected actor of the film industry, also condemned the disrespectful remarks made by Nupur Sharma and hinted at his disappointment towards the three Khans of Indian cinema, Shahrukh, Salman, and Amir. He posted a picture of Nupur and captioned it with only one word, ‘Cursed’, which was enough to express his discontentment towards the situation. Shahroz Sabzwari, Noor Bukhari, and various others also voiced their opinions on the matter.
Some Indian actors also came out in support of Pakistani actors and their agenda in voicing their opinions over the blasphemous comments. Farhan Akhtar, Swara Bhasker, Vishal Dadlani, and KRK, all showed their concerns over the hateful remarks made by Nupur Sharma.
