Zindagi is the first Indian channel to have content from various countries like Pakistan, Egypt and Turkey.
With all the tension rising because of recent Uri attacks, after political party in Maharashtra, and singer Abhijeet Bhatacharya threaten Pakistani actors to leave India, and gave a deadline of 48 hours, another response has surfaced against Pakistan.
Dr Chandra’s announcement has come in a couple of days after Fawad Khan, Mahira Khan, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan among other Pakistani artists were threatened to leave India once and for all. He even asked the actors from the neighbouring country to leave. He added, “Pakistani artistes will get beaten up”.
As soon as the news calling for a ban on Pakistani artists reached the internet, Twitter trends like #SayNoToPakArtists, #BoycottPakOrNot and #KickOutPakis started doing the rounds.
Zindagi channel – the first to syndicate content from Pakistan and air it in India – might ban all the Pakistani TV shows now been aired in India following the 48-hour ultimatum given by Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) to all Pakistani film and TV artistes to quit India or face consequences.

It was shows like Humsafar and Zindagi Gulzar Hai, which are being aired on Zindagi, that made Fawad Khan more popular, who might be facing deportment if MNS is to be taken seriously. Humsafar also featured Mahira Khan opposite Fawad, and Mahira is now working opposite Shah Rukh Khan in his next big release Raees.
