Stories are not just Indian or Pakistani. They belong to everyone. The same is true for people. We are all humans first and only then Indian or Pakistani. The beauty of storytelling is such that it cannot be divided but only shared. Stories are like nomads and they keep traveling.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_314313\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-314313\" style=\"width: 335px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-314313\" src=\"https:\/\/propakistani.pk\/lens\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Zee-Network-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"335\" height=\"319\" srcset=\"https:\/\/propakistani.pk\/lens\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Zee-Network-1.png 335w, https:\/\/propakistani.pk\/lens\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Zee-Network-1-300x286.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 335px) 100vw, 335px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-314313\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fans support Mahira Khan&#8217;s Yaar Julahay<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/blockquote>\n\t\t<div class=\"p-alsoread\">\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"heading\">ALSO READ<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<div><a href=\"https:\/\/propakistani.pk\/lens\/pakistan-reacts-as-mahira-khan-returns-to-indian-screens\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pakistan Reacts As Mahira Khan Returns to Indian Screens<\/a><\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\n<p>On the same note, the <strong>Khubsoorat<\/strong> actor talked about the exchange of art between India and Pakistan currently.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I think it&#8217;s tragic how art always suffers the consequences of these tragedies. Artistic exchange should not be politicized. It would make my heart happy if more Indian artists performed in Pakistan. I have beautiful memories of enjoying the performance of a theatre group from Rajasthan. Every year NAPA (The National Academy of Performing Arts ) arranges an international theatre festival where people come from all around the world but we bond the most with the Indians who visit and when it&#8217;s time for them to leave, we are genuinely in tears and there is such immense sadness. I wish we could work more with each other like we did five years back.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\t\t<div class=\"p-alsoread\">\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"heading\">ALSO READ<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<div><a href=\"https:\/\/propakistani.pk\/lens\/another-bollywood-star-gets-warned-against-performing-at-a-pakistani-event\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Another Bollywood Star Gets Warned Against Performing at a Pakistani Event<\/a><\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\n<p>What do you think of Fawad Khan&#8217;s insights?
