Due to the lockdown in
Pakistan and India, not only the common people have been confined to their
homes, but after the situation arising out of the spread of the corona virus,
the movie stars, singers and other celebrity celebrities are also forced to keep
social distance.
In this case live video
chat has bridged the borders and social media users are watching and listening
to the interaction of artists from both countries. These days, artists
like Pakistan and India discuss the issues of mutual interest as ordinary
citizens, entertaining their fans who are bored in the isolation of their own
homes.
But a film industry
organization in India is not happy that showbiz personalities in India are busy
talking to Pakistanis and have warned Indian artists against it.
A 'warning' has been issued
to all musicians, singers, artists and technicians in the country by the
Federation of Western India Cine Employees, a representative organization of
the Indian film industry.
It said that "despite
the organization's knowledge of the directive not to work in any way with the
people associated with showbiz in Pakistan, some members are continuing to work
with Pakistani singers and artists."
The organization has said
that they have learned to do an online concert with Pakistani singer Rahat
Fateh Ali Khan in collaboration with the people of the entertainment industry
in India, and it is learned that in the future it will be expanded. Has also
been planned, which is against the direction of the organization.
According to Indian media,
the warning came after a joint online concert by Pakistani fashion singer Vijay
Arora and Indian singer Sushil singer Harsh Deep Kaur's Pakistani singer Rahat
Fateh Ali Khan.
However, the warning can also
have an impact on the activities of the people of Pakistan and India on the
basis of human empathy in the environment of the outbreak through social
interaction.
The organization's
directive also states that "we must also keep in mind that while the whole
world is fighting against the Corona virus, on the other hand, Indian soldiers
are being killed on the borders by Pakistan."
