    Abrar ul Haq responds to Mishi Khan’s criticism: My biggest achievements are not international roles

    Singer and songwriter Abrar ul Haq has responded to actor Mishi Khan’s disbelief over him being offered a Bollywood role. Abrar ul Haq claimed on a podcast that he had declined a role opposite Bollywood star Katrina Kaif, which caused a stir on social media.

    Mishi Khan found it so amusing that she asked in a video, “When did you get this offer? Why didn’t you tell us before? This must be the funniest thing this year! Is this what happens when people leave their political party?” Not only did she post a video, but she also wrote a caption: “Some statements are so funny, you have to say something.” The actor wrote, “Abrar ul Haq’s recent statement is funny,” and ended with a laughing emoji.

    It seems Abrar wasn’t going to let his dignity be attacked without a response. He released a video statement in Urdu, where he said that Mishi’s surprise showed what she considered achievements. Abrar clarified, “Yes, I was offered ai role in a Bollywood movie with Katrina Kaif playing a Pakistani singer. Some people made fun of me, saying I went crazy after leaving my political party. I find that really sad.”

    Abrar explained that he didn’t join any political party and stepped back from politics for personal reasons. He said he wasn’t focused on fame or making money. “What matters most to me is being remembered for helping people and building hospitals, not how many Bollywood roles I’ve been offered,” said the singer and philanthropist. “I have financially helped so many people, but no one ever sees that.”

    Abrar thinks getting an offer from Bollywood isn’t as exciting as it might be for others. He sarcastically said, “Some people may drop dead if they receive a Bollywood offer – how cute are you!” he said, sarcasm dripping from his voice. “But not me. My biggest achievements are not my international roles. Rather, my biggest achievements are the things I have done to help people.”

    Abrar, who is taking a break from politics, mentioned he’s been performing internationally for many years. He said there’s no reason he shouldn’t have received an offer from a nearby country. However, he turned down offers from India because, after carefully looking at the contract, he found it didn’t match his values.

    “You can’t talk about Kashmir,” the singer had explained earlier when revealing why he refused to work in Bollywood. “I believed a country that values freedom of speech shouldn’t have such restrictions. So, I didn’t accept those roles.” Abrar finished his video by criticizing artists who make fun of their colleagues online. “Please remember our values and don’t insult people from your own country like this,” he cautioned. “It just makes you look bad, not anyone else.”

    Janhvi Kapoor reveals biggest regret in life has to do with her mother, Sri Devi

    During a recent interview, Janhvi Kapoor admitted that she regrets not making use of the acting skills she inherited from her mother due to the pressure of accusations of nepotism. She acknowledged that it was a mistake to avoid seeking help from her mother during her first film, “Dhadak,” because she wanted to prove herself independently.

    Kapoor explained, “I was so conscious during my first film. People said I got the role because I am Sridevi’s daughter. I wanted to stay away from her influence. I thought it would be unfair if I took advantage of her advice. Looking back, I realize it was silly. I didn’t let her help me when she wanted to be there for me as a mother.”

    She expressed regret, saying, “Sometimes I wish I had just told her, ‘Mom, I have a shoot, please come quickly.’ Maybe she would have been there. I’ve come to understand that now.”
    Janhvi concluded by expressing pride in being the daughter of her parents. She acknowledged that some might debate the morality of her being Sridevi’s daughter, but she believes it’s the truth.

    Her younger sister, Khushi Kapoor made her debut in the recently-released teen musical ‘The Archies’. Janhvi shared the advice she has for her: “She did such a wonderful job at being honest. When I was talking to her, I told her to be prepared for hate but not to forget herself in the process. I wish someone said this to me. I wish someone told me to try looking at the people that value you, like you, because believing the bad is always easier.”
    “When someone says something bad about you, then believing that person becomes easier. It takes a lot of self-confidence to believe someone who says the right thing. Me and my sister, at times, we question ourselves a lot. I told her ‘Don’t lose yourself, don’t be jaded because you’ve been very honest.’ I felt her performance was very warm, there was a lot of innocence in it. She was not trying to show anything off and it is very difficult to be this real in front of the camera.”
