Feb 28, 2019 - Amid rising tensions between the nuclear-armed nations, members of the film fraternity from both India and Pakistan have called for peace and are wishing for the safe return of the Indian Air Force pilot.
In meantime, Pakistani actress Veena Malik took to Twitter to mock Abhinandan Varthaman, the IAF Pilot in Pakistan Custody. She wrote, "Abhi abhi tu ayo ho...achi mehmaan nawazi ho gi aap ki."
Bollywood actress Swara Bhasker was quick to react to Veena’s post.
The actress also mocked Bollywood actors like Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgn and Kangana Ranaut among others for tweeting in support of the surgical strikes.
The ministry of external affairs on Wednesday said a MiG-21 had been shot down and that a pilot was missing, even as Pakistan claimed it has in its custody two Indian Air force pilots who were captured from its territory.
Later in the day, the government acknowledged that IAF Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman has been captured by the Pakistani forces after fighter jets of both nations engaged in an air battle on Wednesday morning, in a major escalation of hostilities.
