Pakistani actress and commentator Nadia Khan is recognised for her outspoken statements and candid demeanour. Now, in a video, she suggested that Pakistani actors were barred from working in India due to insecurity among Bollywood stars. Nadia has sparked interest on X through the clip where she asserted that leading Bollywood actors, including the Khans -- Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Aamir Khan feel threatened by the talented artists from the neighbouring country. This statement was made during an episode of Kya Drama Hai Uncut Version.

A snippet of her comments poking fun at Bollywood celebrities was shared on X with the caption, "I need her delusion."

Nadia's Video

In the video, she said in Urdu, "After working in their films, Fawad Khan and other Pakistani celebs are so popular in India that some of Bollywood's top actors became insecure about them. They only tried to create a political issue between the two countries and made sure our artistes were banned there (After Uri attack). It was not just the Indian politicians that had an issue with us, the top actors there were scared."

"It is not just a fear of getting films, but also how much the Indian public was starting to love Pakistani actors. They were so scared of our talent that they got us banned. Recently what our actors Wahaj and Bilal (Seemingly hinting at Wahaj Ali and Bilal Abbas Khan), have done has made the Indian public fall in love with them... these stars in India are viral, you have no idea about their fan following in India. Even the Khans (Aamir Khan, Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan) are insecure – 'If these boys come in our films, what will we do?'" she added.

Soon after her video went viral, netizens started trolling the actress. A user questioned, "Is she alright?!" Another remarked, "There's a limit to delusion." A third comment added, "SRK vs Pakistan entertainment industry... Vote karwa do sirf Pakistan mai ... I'm sure SRK more than 50% vote se lead karenge."
