After the Uri attacks, Pakistani artistes in India were on the receiving end by various political parties. Some political parties have even given an ultimatum to these artistes to leave the country immediately. There was news that after this ultimatum actor Fawad Khan secretly left India and went to Pakistan, but now Fawad Khan has issued an official statement which he posted on Facebook, which reads:

I've been in Lahore since July as my wife and I had been expecting our second child.

I've received numerous requests from the media and from well-wishers worldwide asking me for my thoughts on the sad incidents that took place in the past few weeks. As a father of two little children, I pray and wish like many others that together we can build and live in a more peaceful world. I believe we owe it to our children who will shape our tomorrow.

This is the first time I have spoken on the matter. Please disregard any other words attributed to me during this time because I have not said them. I thank all my fans and fellow artists from Pakistan, India and people in general all over the world who have shown continued support for their belief in love and understanding to unite a divisive world.
