Harshvardhan Rane slams Sanam Teri Kasam co-star Mawra Hocane
Harshvardhan Rane stepping down from doing Sanam Teri Kasam 2 if the cast remains the same was one of the biggest news stories in the entertainment world. While he didn't mention that he was particularly talking about co-star and Pakistani actress Mawra Hocane, she criticized him and labeled his actions as a "PR strategy," leading Harshvardhan Rane to hit back at her.
Harshvardhan Rane hits back at Mawra
After Mawra put out an Instagram story in a lengthy note calling out Harshvardhan Rane for putting out "a PR statement to get attention," he hit back at her for the personal attack. In his Instagram stories, he wrote, "That sounded like an attempt at a personal attack. Fortunately, I have the tolerance to overlook such attempts — but have zero tolerance for any attack on my nation's dignity."
“An Indian farmer would pluck out the unwanted weed from his crop. It's called WEEDING. The farmer doesn’t need a PR team for this act. It's called common sense. I simply offered to step down from Part 2. I am fully within my rights to choose not to work with individuals who label my country's actions as 'cowardly'," he further continued.
Harshvardhan concluded his note saying, "So much hate in her speech, so many personal remarks. I never mentioned her name or resorted to calling her names. I didn’t attack her dignity as a woman. I intend to maintain that standard.”
Mawra Hocane's remark:
"Look around you, look at what’s going on! We could all hear explosions… children in my country died due to an unjustified, cowardly attack, innocent lives are lost, and after multiple attempts to still maintain grace and peace, a befitting response by my armed forces has caused a frenzy in your country last night. While our nations are at war, this is what you come up with? A PR statement to get attention? What a pity! I’ve always shown respect, love, and gratitude for everyone I’ve worked with, and I’ll continue to do so. I was offered to collaborate, and I did. I’ll never spew hate like you just did," Mawra Hocane said while reacting to the news of Harshvardhan Rane stepping down from Sanam Teri Kasam 2 if there is a chance for the old cast to come together.
Slamming Rane for using the war for his personal benefit, Mawra added, "Making such announcements at this volatile time, it’s both shameful and bizarre to see you so hungry and desperate. Our countries have been at WAR… two nuclear countries have been at war. This is not the time to discuss films, to mock one another, or to bring each other down. Only goes to show your ignorance in such a sensitive situation. I guess it’s not just your news media that’s gone bonkers. If throwing all the respect away and using my name after nine years is getting you the headlines, you might be surrounded by the wrong team. You just DO NOT use war for your personal benefit. So many lives lost… it’s a grave situation, you’ve fallen from grace for nothing!”
