Mawra vs Harshvardhan: Actress Fires Back After Co-star’s Film Exit

Sanam Teri Kasam is known for the tragic one-sided love story and the exceptional performance of the cast, which gained popularity among the audience in 2016. This anticipated sequel has become the centre of a heated controversy among the stars Harshvardhan Rane and Mawra Hocane, a Pakistani actress.

The controversy sparked when the Pakistani actress commented about the India-Pakistan conflict, criticising India’s Operation Sindoor, “Strongly condemn India’s cowardly attack on Pakistan”.

To this, Rane shared his decision to withdraw from Sanam Teri Kasam 2, stating, “While I am grateful for the experience, however, as things stand, and after reading the direct comments made about my country, I have made a decision to respectfully decline to be a part of Sanam Teri Kasam part 2 if there is any possibility of the previous cast being repeated.”

In response to Rane’s story, Marwa labelled it as a PR stunt to gain attention. She expressed, “Making such announcements at this volatile time, it’s both shameful and bizarre to see you so hungry and desperate.” The entire story condemned Rane’s refusal to work on the sequel and a stunt that helped him gain attention. She further said, “You just DO NOT use war for your personal benefit. So many lives lost… It’s a grave situation; you’ve fallen from grace for nothing!”

“So much hate in her speech, so many personal remarks. I never mentioned her name or resorted to calling her names. Didn’t attack her dignity as a woman.”, Rane shared on Mawra’s remark.

The controversy highlights the complexities of cross-border collaborations in the entertainment industry. Once the film ruled the hearts of the audience, a demand for a sequel soared to new heights. But given the current situation, the sequel remains uncertain, as the Rane rightly said, “Zero tolerance for any attack on my nation’s dignity.”
