Harshvardhan Rane and Mawra Hocane, the lead actors of Sanam Teri Kasam (2016) are in the midst of a war of words, amid tensions between two countries. The duo has been reacting to each other’s comments back and forth on social media. It all started when Pakistani actor Mawra slammed Harshvardhan’s exit from Sanam Teri Kasam sequel, calling it a “PR strategy”, which further fuelled him to hit back.

Harshvardhan Rane’s statement to quit Sanam Teri Kasam 2 with Pakistani actor Mawra Hocane came after she shared a post criticising India’s successful Operation Sindoor against Pakistan. His decision didn’t go well with Mawra as she labelled it a PR strategy. “Someone I expected to have basic common sense has risen from deep slumber with a PR strategy… While our nations are at war, this is what you come up with? A PR statement to get attention? What a pity!” she said.

The Haseen Dillruba actor took to his Instagram handle on Sunday, to give a befitting reply to her. In his Instagram Stories, he wrote, “That sounded like an attempt at personal attack. Fortunately, I have tolerance to overlook such attempts – but have zero tolerance for any attack on my nation’s dignity.”

He added, “An Indian farmer would pluck out the unwanted weed from his crop its called WEEDING, the farmer doesnt need a PR team for this act, its 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’. So much hate in her speech, so many personal remarks. I never mentioned her name or resorted to calling her names. Didn’t attack her dignity as a woman. I intend to maintain that standard.”

“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, 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!,” Mawra had written earlier.

Sanam Teri Kasam was written and directed by Radhika Rao and Vinay Sapru, starring Harshvardhan Rane and Mawra Hocane in their debuts. The film gained a lot of popularity recently after its re-release at the theatres, and even collected more than its original release at the box office.
