In the midst of what has been a charged week or so for Pakistani and Indian actors working on cross-border project, Mahira Khan has finally taken to her Facebook to give her two cents on the matter.

In a post published on the social networking site today, the Bin Roye leading lady shared that she hoped for her child to grow up in a peaceful world: "As a Pakistani and citizen of the world I strongly condemn any act of terror, any loss of human life no matter which soil it is on. I will not rejoice in bloodshed and war. I will always hope for and dream of a world where my child can live without it, and always plead with everyone to imagine a peaceful world."

The actress also said that she has always held the esteem of Pakistan paramount, stating "In the 5 years that I have been working as an actor I believe that I have tried my best to keep my country's respect intact - by being a professional and by representing Pakistan here and elsewhere to the best of my abilities."

Following the Uri incident and deteriorating relations between India and Pakistan, one of the biggest hits was felt by Pakistani and Indian actors.

The Indian Motion Picture Producers Association's (IMMP) banned Pakistani talent from working in India, which invited criticism not only from Pakistan but within India too. Pakistani cinemas responding by refusing to air Indian movies locally.
