New Delhi:
Amid India-Pakistan’s escalating tensions, followed by the Operation Sindoor and the Pahalgam terror attack, an old video of Irrfan Khan has re-surfaced online. In the video, Irrfan Khan was asked by a Pakistani journalist if he would visit Pakistan ever. The prolific actor, who’s known as a man of a few words, gave a short and impactful reply to the query, winning the hearts of the Internet.
In the viral video, the journalist asks Irrfan Khan, “Hello Irrfan bhai, you have a great following in Pakistan. I wish, you can sometime come to Pakistan. It’ll be a great pleasure.”
Cutting the journalist in between, Irrfan Khan said in a straight face, “Mein aah toh jaunga, wapas aaunga ke nahi (I will visit Pakistan but can I come back?)” The audience present over there burst into laughter.

In the aftermath of the Pahalgam attack and the Operation Sindoor, India asked the OTT giants to remove contents from their respective platforms, originated in Pakistan.
Last week, the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting issued an advisory asking streaming platforms in India to remove contents originated in Pakistan.
“In the interest of national security, all OTT platforms, media streaming platforms and intermediaries operating in India are advised to discontinue the web-series, films, songs, podcasts and other streaming media content, whether made available on a subscription based model or otherwise, having its origins in Pakistan with immediate effect,” the advisory stated.
Pakistani artistes like Fawad Khan, Mahira Khan and Mawra Hocane’s images have also been removed from their Bollywood film songs on music apps.
Popular music platforms like Spotify, YouTube Music have already removed Fawad Khan’s face from the posters of Kapoor & Sons, Mahira from Raees.
The Raees album, which earlier featured Shah Rukh Khan and Mahira Khan, now features Shah Rukh alone.
Meanwhile, the song Buddhu Sa Mann, featuring Fawad Khan alongside Sidharth Malhotra and Alia Bhatt, is currently inaccessible on YouTube in India, with a message stating “Video unavailable.”
