After starring in two Bollywood flicks and pitching for joint production of films between the two countries, Pakistani actress Meera has now done a u-turn, saying Indian movies should not be screened in the country.

Pakistan's Cultural Ministry, which has reportedly recommended the government not to lift the ban on screening of Indian movies, was "pleasantly surprised" to see Meera endorsing its stand that Bollywood movies should not be shown in the country.

"India has a different culture, Indians have a different mindset and Indian movies should not be screened in Pakistan. We should produce our own movies. We are Muslims and we have to make films that depict our own culture," Meera, who was under attack at home for her steamy scenes in some Indian movies, was quoted as saying in the Daily Times.

Asked why she suddenly opposed Indian films in Pakistan, Meera said she couldn't articulate her viewpoint but what she had observed in India in the last year she is convinced that Indian films should not be screened here.

Her second Indian film Kasak has just been released in India. Known for her flip-flop statements to hog the headlines, Meera, who has often talked about promoting Indo-Pak friendship and working towards the end, said, "yes, I used to say that I am an ambassador of peace between India and Pakistan. But I won't say that now."
