Abir Gulaal’s Posts with Fawad Khan Disappear from Vaani
Bollywood actress Vaani Kapoor is set to star alongside Pakistani actor Fawad Khan in the upcoming film Abir Gulaal. However, the film’s release has faced significant hurdles following a recent terror attack in Pahalgam, which has led to government sources indicating that it will not be allowed to premiere in India. In light of these developments, Vaani has removed all promotional content related to the film from her Instagram account.
Removal of Promotional Content
In the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack, Vaani Kapoor took swift action to distance herself from *Abir Gulaal*. All posts associated with the film and Fawad Khan were deleted from her Instagram account, including posters, teasers, and behind-the-scenes footage. However, Vaani’s team clarified that she did not personally delete the posts. Instead, the film’s production team managed the content, leading to an automatic removal from her profile due to the nature of the Instagram collaborations.
This decision came amid a broader crackdown on social media accounts belonging to several Pakistani celebrities, including Fawad Khan, Hania Aamir, and Mahira Khan. Users in India attempting to access these profiles are met with a message stating that the accounts are not available due to compliance with a legal request. This reflects the heightened tensions following the recent attack.
Impact of the Pahalgam Terror Attack
The Pahalgam terror attack, which occurred on April 22, resulted in the tragic loss of 26 lives, primarily civilians. This incident has been labeled the deadliest in the region since the Pulwama attack in 2019. The attack has drawn widespread condemnation from Bollywood figures, including Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Alia Bhatt, who expressed their sorrow over the loss of life. Pakistani actors, such as Hania Aamir and Mahira Khan, also voiced their grief, highlighting the shared human tragedy that transcends national boundaries.
In light of the attack and the ensuing political climate, government sources have confirmed that *Abir Gulaal*, which was scheduled for release on May 9, will not be permitted to debut in India. This decision underscores the ongoing tensions between India and Pakistan, which have affected cultural exchanges, including film releases.
