Abir Gulaal music taken down from YouTube following boycott demands
Following boycott demands, the songs from Fawad Khan and Vaani Kapoor's Abir Gulaal were taken down from YouTube. Two songs from the movie were removed.
In response to boycott calls following the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22, YouTube India has taken down songs from Fawad Khan and Vaani Kapoor’s film Abir Gulaal, as well as two tracks from the film titled Khudaya Ishq and Angreji Rangrasiya. The film had already been banned from release in India.
Terror attacks spark backlash
The move follows heavy criticism on social media, with users opposing collaborations between Indian and Pakistani artists in the wake of the attack.
The April 22 attack, one of the deadliest in Kashmir in recent years, claimed the lives of 26 people when terrorists opened fire on tourists in Pahalgam.
