One more Lollywood actor, should I say actress, hops onto the anti-Indian film bandwagon. This time round it’s the pretty face Saima who has given a statement suggesting that Indian films should not be screened in Pakistan. She feels the Pakistan film industry is on the revival track and can survive on its own.

To be honest, it’s not a new argument, as film star Shaan has been saying this for a long time. In fact he too has recently reiterated his stance arguing that the Pakistani government should have a film policy. Shaan does have a point.
