Dear Fellow Journalist, Fawad Khan Is Here to Stay; Deal With It!

The Quint  

But here’s a fact, it’s not us that made Fawad famous, the actor was already a superstar in Pakistan with a net worth of about $2 million. So I really don’t think it was the popularity or the money that dragged Fawad from Lahore to Mumbai. It’s unfair on our part to expect him to say anything against his country just because he’s done a couple of Bollywood films or we added a few more female fans in his already visible popularity graph. Similarly, it would be unfair for the US to do the same with Priyanka Chopra just because they’ve probably “given her more money than what she could have possibly earned here”.
