India blocks film; Vaani Kapoor's posts vanished

gulfnews.com

The Indian government has blocked the release of the Bollywood film "Abir Gulaal," starring Fawad Khan, following the recent terror attack in Pahalgam. This decision has effectively halted the project's distribution within India. Vaani Kapoor's Instagram posts related to "Abir Gulaal," including promotional materials featuring Fawad Khan, have been removed. Reports indicate the content disappeared automatically after the production team removed their original uploads, not due to Kapoor's direct action. This move is part of a broader trend of restricting the digital presence of Pakistani artists in India, with several prominent figures' Instagram accounts reportedly becoming inaccessible.
