Mawra Hocane Removed from ‘Sanam Teri Kasam’ Posters After Speaking Out on India Operation
Pakistani actress Mawra Hocane has been digitally removed from the promotional posters of the film Sanam Teri Kasam on music streaming platforms such as Spotify and YouTube Music. The decision comes after Hocane openly condemned India’s military operation, dubbed Operation Sindoor, an action that has intensified the current tensions between India and Pakistan.
The move has also sparked controversy with her co-star, Harshvardhan Rane, who criticized her remarks as “derogatory” and “hateful.” In response, Hocane defended her stance passionately, further fueling the dispute surrounding the film’s 2016 legacy.

The conflict began on May 7, 2025, when Hocane denounced India’s airstrikes in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, calling attention to the tragic fallout of these operations. This strong statement led Rane to announce on Instagram that he would not participate in any sequel if Hocane was involved, emphasizing his pride in India and rejecting what he described as her divisive rhetoric.
