Consequently, Bollywood has begun distancing itself from Pakistani artists. Amidst this, actress Vaani Kapoor has taken a significant step by removing all posts related to her film ‘Abir Gulal’, featuring Fawad Khan from her Instagram account.

‘Abir Gulal’ Scheduled for Release on 9 May

This film, starring Fawad Khan and Vaani Kapoor, was slated for release in cinemas on 9 May. However, following the Pahalgam attack, the film was banned first in India and subsequently in Pakistan. Furthermore, the film's songs and promotional content have been removed from YouTube. This decision has also impacted Fawad Khan's potential return to Bollywood.

Vaani Kapoor Removes ‘Abir Gulal’ Social Media Posts
