Published on: May 10, 2019 4:24 PM


Is the cold war between the two countries over? Not quite so, but the Indian controversy queen Rakhi Sawant has triggered trouble for herself again by posing with a Pakistani flag for her social media accounts. The Indian dancer and model received merciless backlash from the Indian audience and a lot of admiration too.

Rakhi’s shared pictures from her recent shoot on her Instagram account where the dancer is seen in a bold gold sequence dress and a red see-thru skirt with a slit all the way up to her thigh.

The model is seen proudly announcing her new role for the movie ‘Dhara 370’  in a video on Instagram, where she reveals her role as a Pakistani girl for the film saying,’ I want to tell you all that I have been cast as a Pakistani girl for this role.’

‘Even Pakistani people hold a heart in their chest, I have love for them and not everyone is bad’ said Rakhi, extending her love to the Pakistani people.

Rakhi Tere Ko Pakistan wale Marke Teri Kabar Waha Bana Denge

@rakhisawant2511 tum hamaray culture ko nahi jaanti just movies banao culture ki baat na kero

In response Rakhi commented,

When I saw a movie and got to know that so many Pakistani people help Indians and Kashmiris, I was thankful to such people. I saw Bhajrangi Bhaijan which is also the truth that there are good people in Pakistan who help Indians.

The film Dhara 370 is based on the Kashmiri Pundits and Rakhi as a Pakistani girl expose the terrorist organizations in the movie.

Rakhi captioned the post as: “I love my India but this is my character in the film Dhara 370.

The two countries might still be at war, but love and harmony know no borders.
