Bollywood actor Harshvardhan Rane has addressed the controversy with Pakistani actress Mawra Hocane after her critical comments on India’s Operation Sindoor, the military response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack. Though headlines may suggest all’s calm, the actor’s firm stand says otherwise.
“Respect Without Retaliation”—Rane’s Subtle Yet Strong Response
In a candid interview with Filmfare, Rane said, “Dignity doesn’t require putting someone else down.” While refraining from attacking Mawra Hocane or Pakistan, he clarified that he won’t work with anyone who demeans India’s actions.
“My reaction was simple—disassociate respectfully,” Rane stated. His choice to decline Sanam Teri Kasam 2 with Mawra Hocane underscores his stance.

Though fans hoped to see the beloved pair again, Rane confirmed he won’t return for the sequel if Hocane is involved. “This isn’t personal—it’s about national dignity,” he added.
