Sarwat Gilani Calls Out Nadia Khan for Criticizing Pakistani Artists”

Pakistani actress and social activist Sarwat Gilani has publicly criticized TV host Nadia Khan for her harsh remarks against fellow artists during recent India-Pakistan tensions. The confrontation occurred during a talk show where Sarwat Gilani defended celebrities like Fawad Khan, Hania Aamir, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, and Atif Aslam, whom Nadia had accused of remaining silent on political issues.

Known for her selective roles and activism, Gilani didn’t mince words: “It’s inappropriate for senior artists like Nadia to demean colleagues as if they’re her staff.” She emphasized that criticism whether domestic or international shouldn’t undermine the dignity of Pakistani performers. The Churails star questioned Nadia’s approach, asking, “Was she protesting on the streets, or just lecturing from an AC studio?”

Sarwat Gilani rebuttal highlights a growing divide in Pakistan’s entertainment industry between performative patriotism and constructive dialogue. While Nadia demanded public political stances from artists, Gilani advocated for respectful discourse: “You can request stars to post for Pakistan but with grace, not like a neighborhood quarrel.”

This clash reflects broader debates about celebrities’ roles during geopolitical crises. As Gilani prepares for her TV comeback after seven years in films/web series, her stance reinforces her reputation as an artist who balances creative work with principled advocacy without tearing down peers.
