"Where is our warmth?" South actress Lakshmi Manchu supports Pakistani artists –

Lakshmi Manchu supports Pakistani artists:

Actress Lakshmi Manchu has made headlines once again with her controversial talk. She has come out in support of Pakistani artists working in India, especially at a time when relations between the two countries remain tense. With reports of Pakistani celebrities facing Instagram restrictions in India, Lakshmi expressed her disappointment and called for a more open-hearted approach.

"Don't politicise art. Go after the people who are causing the trouble. You can’t just throw a blanket ban on everybody and say no (you can’t work with them). Where is our growth? Where is our warmth? As Indians, we welcomed all these people with open hearts," she said during a conversation with Hindustan Times.

"Where are our hearts now? Politics is one way, but why cattle herding and blanketing? Why are they going after an actor? What threat are they to India, and banning their Instagram? Like how insecure are you?" she further questioned.
