It seems that India and Pakistan’s problems are not a simple case of kissing and making up. I’m not a follower of the Bollywood scene, but the first joint Indian Pakistani movie production ‘Nazar’ has found itself in some trouble. The movie allegedly has a scene where Pakistani starlet ‘Meera’ kisses her Indian co-star Ashmit Patel. She has subsequently faced death threats and is moving to India. There is also a court case seeking a ban on the film in Pakistan. I came across Meera’s travails at the Washington Post’s world opinion roundup blog.

The Dawn article about the court case has some priceless items:

morality and image of entire Pakistani nation and if such matter is not given due consideration he and the general public will suffer irreparable loss and shall be seriously prejudiced.

I wonder what image of Pakistan this guy is trying to protect.

Meera performed allegedly bold scene with Indian actor Ashmit Patel.

The ’scene so bold that it shall not be named’.
