LOS ANGELES: (UrduPoint/UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News-May 22^nd, 2025) Acclaimed Pakistani film and television actress Mahira Khan has said that the focus should now be on developing Pakistan’s own entertainment industry, amid growing debate over cross-border artistic collaboration.

“I’m not in favour of cancel culture or boycotts,” she said.

“But considering the current situation, emotional reactions are understandable when it comes to matters of national identity. I believe we should focus on our own industry and invest in ourselves — because ultimately, our country is our safe space,”.

A video of Mahira's statement has gone viral on social media which drew mixed reactions.
