Bollywood stars Aishwarya Khurana and Sara Ali Khan are attracting public attention due to their upcoming film 'Udta Tir'. They are actively promoting it before its release, but their promotional event at the Amritsar-Attari-Wagah border attracted increased attention.
When Aishwarya and Sara arrived at the border between India and Pakistan to address the audience, their voices were drowned out by loud music. Notably, the popular tune 'Tajdar-e-Haram' by the renowned singer Atif Aslam was playing from the Pakistani side. Videos of this situation are actively being discussed on social media.
On Tuesday, Aishwarya Khurana and Sara Ali Khan visited Amritsar and the Attari-Wagah border to promote their film 'Udta Tir'. They attempted to address the gathered crowd using microphones, but at that moment, the famous tune 'Tajdar-e-Haram' by Atif Aslam started playing through loudspeakers from the Pakistani side.
The video, which went viral on social media, shows Aishwarya and Sara repeatedly trying to speak to people, but their speech is barely audible due to the high volume. This promotional moment became a subject of discussion, although it is difficult to determine whether it was intentional or accidental. Users are actively joking about this situation.
Before this event, Aishwarya and Sara published a video on social media in which Sara expressed respect for the BSF personnel stationed at the border, noting their bravery and self-sacrifice. She thanked them as heroes of the country. However, the video they published did not include live footage of the event. Other videos that appeared later sparked discussions regarding the singing at the border and the stars' attempts to perform.
Upon arriving in Amritsar, Sara Ali Khan also visited Sri Harmandir Sahib, known as the Golden Temple, where she offered prayers. During the prayer, Sara looked very moved, and her video went viral online. The recording shows her folding her hands in supplication.
This emotional moment of Sara also attracted public attention. While videos related to the film promotion are being discussed, the video of her prayer at the Golden Temple is spreading across social media.
The discussion surrounding Aishwarya and Sara's film is not limited to India. The film has not received permission to be screened in Nepal. According to reports, Nepali film critic Sampyajraj Timilsina stated that the screening was suspended due to the plot, which is based on the tension between India and Pakistan. According to a report from the Nepali website Onlinekhabar, there are provisions whereby films that may damage the image of another country or negatively affect relations with friendly states can be banned.
This decision further intensified the discussion surrounding the film's premiere.
The film 'Udta Tir', directed by Akash Kaushik, is positioned as a patriotic comedy. In the film, Aishwarya Khurana plays a Pakistani agent who arrives in India as part of a mission. However, after an accident, he loses his memory and is led to believe that he is an Indian agent. This is where the series of misunderstandings, funny situations, and comedy begins. Sara Ali Khan also plays an important role in the picture. The film is scheduled for release on October 23rd.
It remains to be seen how successfully 'Udta Tir' will attract audiences to theaters amidst the viral events at the Wagah border and the ban on screening in Nepal.
