Despite the joint spirit of music and films, a fight was also fought on the cultural fronts, as well as the cross -border military engagement between Pakistan and India.

The artists who had previously been exempt from enmity between their leaders had an effect on the violent conflict, which broke out in the past month, which was the most bloody decades.

Ali Gul Pir, a Pakistani rapper and comedian, with a huge Indian pursuit, issued a song to make fun of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi years ago.

When the results were rescued, its YouTube channel and Instagram profile were blocked in India in May.

“Now Indians recognize that the digital place works for a bridge between Pakistanis and Indians, and they intend to separate the relationship,” Monday told AFP.

Bilateral relations led to the collapse of New Delhi when New Delhi accused Islamabad of a deadly attack on tourists in Jammu and Kashmir illegally.

Pakistan denied the allegations and, after the tight for tet diplomatic retaliation, their militants fought for four days before the ceasefire.

The dispute was affected for the first time the music industry, Pakistani singer Anwar Khalid also remembered how his Indian ended.

“Delhi was already my listener city before the ban,” Khalid said, with 3.1 million monthly audiences on the spot.

He told AFP, “I suffered a lot in the audience”, he told AFP.

Khalid added, “The audience was deprived of content because the music was turned into something that is not so.”

The controversy also cleared some previous exchange, such as the sound track of the 2017 movie “Raees” on Spatif in India.

Now it is shown only to Indian actor Shah Rukh Khan, without his Pakistani co -star Mahera Khan.

‘We have the same stories’

Under the rules of strict censorship, Pakistan is always popular among the Bollywood audience, with just making a handful of films.

“I grew up seeing Bollywood. We have the same trauma, we have the same history, we have the same stories,” said Pakistani film critic, Sajir Sheikh.

Pakistani actors and directors have been seen making Bollywood as a ultimate identity for decades.

Indian star Diljit Dosanjh’s latest film, ‘Sardar G3’, which includes four Pakistani actors, has been released “only” abroad, after which New Delhi banned Pakistani content and artists from production.

The story of a love story of Pakistan’s Fawad Khan and Indian actor Wani Kapoor, ‘Abir Gulal’, was about to target Indian cinema houses on May 9, but the release was postponed.

Even in the industry that had previously supported cross -border artistic trade, changed its tune last month.

“Everything should be banned … cricket, movies, everything,” said Indian actor Saniel Shetty, who followed a big fan in Pakistan.

He acted in the 2004 film ‘Man Hun Na’, which properly promotes peace between India and Pakistan.

“This is really unfortunate for politics,” said Dua Zahra, Assistant Manager of Warner Bruce South Asia in Pakistan.

‘Bridge Gaps’

As part of its actions in the wake of the Pahalgam attack, some Pakistani YouTube channels included a private broadcaster in New Delhi’s ban.

The channel, which states that about 40 % of the viewers are from India, told their fans to use VPN to continue to see.

Since Modi took power more than a decade ago, many Indian critics and film stars have warned that Bollywood is now rapidly promoting the Hindu nationalist ideology of his government.

Although the conflict has created a division on the cultural scene, there are signs that trade will be tolerated.

A month after the ceasefire, three Indian films were included in the top 10 in Netflix Pakistan, while the top 20 trending songs in India included two Pakistani tracks.

Monday, rapper and comedian, vowed to “distinguish the bridge”.

“Let’s not make a war, let’s just make art,” he said.

“Let’s just don’t bomb each other.”
