A few years ago...  something amazing struck all our eyes ... something that made us smile .. something that made our hearts beats faster... something that made us all fall in love with love itself ... something that made us go ‘wow’... And that something was ... watching Fawad Khan on screen! .. Pure Class .. Pure Magic!

The whole industry was blown over at the effortless charm that Fawad exuded...  His personality commanded respect at the same time as pure adulation!

Lets admit it!  We were all in love with the handsome hunk from across the border!

We got to ignite our artbuds a little through his debut performances in Bollywood but before we could tuck in and savour the talent fully ...  fate/politics struck its wicked blow!

A human’s right of speech was questioned and the dilemma of a human being was put to the most unfair acid test!

To the vulnerable Indians, favouring talent was all of sudden equated to being a traitor and and ‘deshbhakti’ took the shape of getting on the bandwagon of throwing an innocent artist out!  Just because he was in an impossible and vulnerable situation.  Put yourself in his shoes... what would you have done?

Sadly, It was like India threw away the Kohinoor just because it did not have a ‘made in India’ banner attached! Huge Loss!

As a proud Indian, I was thoroughly ashamed at how India behaved on this topic and also embarrassed as we always took pride in saying ‘Atithi devo bhavah’ and this how we treated a guest! 

Unfortunately ... Politics always wins.. and Innocence loses!

But we can at least try!  And Trial this is ...  

So if you also think that we overreacted then let’s try and put it right!

Lets invite Fawad back with open arms and let’s give ourselves the biggest gift ever!
