Prachi Desai says NO to a Pakistani project

Actress Prachi Desai says she turned down an offer to feature in an ad for a Pakistani beauty brand, considering the strained ties between India and Pakistan. “As of now, I am not taking up any endorsement deals in Pakistan and yes I have turned down the offer since I feel it is not the right time,” Prachi said in a statement. We are all well aware of the recent fiasco that happened over Ae Dil Hai Mushkil and Raees where certain political parties raised an issue over the casting of Pakistani actors in Bollywood movies. Not just actors, all artistes from Pakistan were asked to keep out of the country until the relations between India and Pakistan don’t improve. Due to which, Fawad Khan’s role in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil was chopped off and now there are questions being raised whether Mahira Khan will be allowed to come to India or not to promote her Bollywood debut film Raees. 
According to a source close to Prachi, the actress was approached by a “Pakistani beauty brand to endorse one of its products”. “But the actor politely turned it down. She has done this keeping in mind the relations India has with our neighbours at this time. She thought it would be inappropriate for her to be signing up for such a thing right now,” the source said. Looking at the current scenario, we think you took a sensible step and did the right thing Prachi. She was last seen onscreen in “Rock On 2“.
