Earlier, when Mahira Khan was asked at an event about the ban on all Pakistani artistes, following the Uri attack (the real-life one), she had said, “It’s something that I have answered many times but I hear things are changing now with Bollywood. I don’t think that we will solve anything by retaliating, and I think things won’t work by doing tit for tat. You ban us, we ban you, you do this, we do that, no I don’t think so; I think they are an amazing industry and I have very close friends there still and I think we are an amazing industry too. World over there should be an exchange of art.” Also Read - Shah Rukh Khan is the best, says Raees co-star Mahira Khan after watching the Zero teaser
