Pakistanis are as terrified of terrorism as anyone else in the world, remarked Bollywood actress Kalki Koechlin.
The actress, who has starred in Dev D, was speaking about her experience of shooting a documentary in Pakistan at the India Today Conclave 2017, which is being held in Grand Hyatt in Mumbai.
Speaking about her documentary Azmaish, directed by Pakistani filmmaker Sabiha Sumar, she remarked that she took the project because of her neutrality on the Pakistan-India issue.
Further she stated, "From my point of view, I accepted the project out of curiosity. I had never been to Pakistan and I only knew India and Pakistan in terms of conflicts. I wanted to see another aspect, perhaps, a more human aspect," reports Indian media.
Speaking about her experience in Pakistan, Kalki said "A lot of things surprised me. One thing that I loved was their curiosity because there's very little outside influence in Pakistan vis-a-vis India. The openness with which they met me was very surprising."
She remarked that the documentary focuses on the everyday struggles of the people on both sides of the border
Cricket and Bollywood are the two things that unite India and Pakistan, she remarked. "Bollywood is huge in Pakistan. People recognised me because of Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani. Even with India, a lot of us are unified because of movies. People of northeast India speak Hindi because of Bollywood."
