Meanwhile, Fawad worked in Indian films, such as Khoobsurat, Kapoor & Sons, and Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. He was making his Bollywood comeback with Abir Gulaal on May 9, but it was halted due to the India-Pakistan war. Notably, all social media handles of Pakistani actors and artists have been banned in India, and the Indian Government has also advised OTT platforms to stop streaming Pakistan-origin content amid tensions. 

Fawad Khan's remark on Operation Sindoor

On May 7, 2025, the Indian Armed Forces launched Operation Sindoor to destroy terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and (Pakistan-occupied Kashmir) PoK. This was in response to the Pahalgam terror attack that took more than 26 lives, mainly tourists. 

Soon after the operation, Fawad took to Instagram to comment on India’s Operation Sindoor. He wrote, “My deepest condolences to the families of those injured and killed in this shameful attack. I pray for the souls of the deceased and strength for their loved ones in the days to come. A respectful request to all: stop stoking the flames with rabble-rousing words. It is not worth the lives of innocent people. May better sense prevail. InshaAllah. Pakistan Zindabad!"

Not only Fawad but also Hania Aamir, Mahira Khan, and other Pakistani artists wrote against Operation Sindoor.
