Additionally, the actress talked about the Indo-Pak art exchange.
“India talks about peace and goodwill yet still shows Pakistani as negative characters in their films.”
While promoting her projects in foreign countries Mehwish said,
“I urge the international media to treat us fairly on the silver screen. Not asking for a positive portrayal of us but least treat us equally.”
She also mentioned neighboring country India and said that India has one of the largest film industries in the world.
“What do they do? They show countless films with Pakistanis as villains. I’ve lost count of the films in last year where Pakistan has been shown in a bad light.”
