Bollywood and TV actors have taken to social media to laud the brave efforts of the Indian army after it carried out surgical strikes along the LoC. Earlier today, we shared with you a video of Rakhi Sawant expressing her pride post India’s action against Pakistan. Like his industry counterparts, singer Adnan Sami took to Twitter in support of the Indian army. Adnan who was a Pakistani singer till last year and recently attained Indian citizenship, received a lot of flak for his tweet from Pakistanis on Twitter.
Here’s what he tweeted:
Big Congratulations to @PMOIndia & our brave Armed forces for a brilliant, successful & mature strategic strike against #terrorism ! #Salute

This was met with a lot of hate and in no time he was labelled a traitor:
So brother, respect ur anncestor’s place …
Papa hamesha Papa he hote hai …— Asad Hindustani… (@dasa005) September 30, 2016
You don’t have to keep reaffirming your pledge of allegiance to your new motherland

Adnan responded to all the hate with this tweet:
Pakistanis r outraged by my earlier tweet. Their outburst clearly means they see Terrorist & Pakistan as the same! #selfgoal #stopterrorism

Some mistook his act of condemning a terrorist for switching loyalties. Other celebrities who came out in support of the Indian army are, Rakhi Sawant, Akshay Kumar, Shah Rukh Khan, Varun Dhawan, Sidharth Malhotra, among others.
