Farhan Saeed criticises Indian media

On Friday, Farhan took to social media to criticise Indian media's coverage of the Pahalgam attack. He wrote, "As much as it's sad what happened in #pahalgam, it's cringeworthy to see Indian media, the most irresponsible and the agitator! Not the first time and I am sure not the last, it'll keep getting worse. For their TRPs they will say anything and if God forbid anything happens between these two countries, they'll be the first ones to run and the people of both countries will suffer! Act responsibly!"

His Suno Chanda co-star Sabeena Farooq echoed his thoughts on the matter and accused the media of spreading hate. Sabeena took to Instagram and wrote, "Be it Palestine or Pahalgam, people have been killed in front of their loved ones, houses have been destroyed. The ones who died are gone, and the ones who survived will die every day. We cannot even imagine the pain they are going through. Please, Pakistani social media, everything is not a joke. Have some empathy. And Indian media, don't spread hate and brainwash people. Show some responsibility. Not every crisis is an opportunity."
