Music Has No Borders! Indian Singer Kavita Krishnamurthy Slams Ban on Pakistani Artists
Renowned Indian classical and playback singer Kavita Krishnamurthy has voiced strong opposition to India’s blanket ban on Pakistani artists
Renowned Indian classical and playback singer Kavita Krishnamurthy has voiced strong opposition to India’s blanket ban on Pakistani artists following the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir. In a passionate statement, she declared, “Music has no religion, no language it’s pure magic of seven notes.”
While condemning the violence, Kavita Krishnamurthy argued that art should transcend politics. “If an artist is talented, they deserve appreciation regardless of origin,” she said, referencing Pakistani singers like Atif Aslam and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, who once dominated Bollywood. However, she also emphasized the need to “explore India’s hidden gems” during this tense period.

The debate reignites as India extends bans to Pakistani YouTube channels, Instagram accounts, and collaborations. Film associations now threaten action against Indian artists working with Pakistani talent. Krishnamurthy’s stance reflects a delicate balance celebrating music’s universality while backing her government’s security measures.
“As a patriot, I stand with my PM’s decisions,” she clarified, “but silencing art isn’t the answer.” Her words echo global calls to separate culture from conflict. Will this spark a rethink? For now, the bans stay leaving fans on both sides mourning the silence.
