Jannat Mirza faces backlash for dodging question on Pakistan-India tensions

Popular Pakistani TikToker Jannat Mirza has come under fire on social media after avoiding a question related to the ongoing tensions between Pakistan and India.

The incident occurred during her appearance at a recent event, where a journalist asked her opinion on Pakistan-India relations. Jannat chose to remain silent and signaled that she did not wish to comment on the matter.

Her silence sparked a flurry of reactions online. Some social media users accused her of deliberately avoiding the topic to protect her Indian fanbase and to ensure that her social media accounts remain active in India.

One user sarcastically commented that she’s only capable of talking about dance and cringe videos. Others speculated that her reluctance stemmed from future plans to work in India, suggesting that she didn’t want to jeopardize her prospects by taking a political stance.

However, some users defended Jannat, noting that the issue is sensitive and requires careful handling.

Another user criticized her by writing, “You can’t even say two words in favor of the country that gave you fame and respect?”

It’s worth noting that in the past, Jannat Mirza did express her views on Pakistan’s temporary TikTok ban, saying she supported the move initially but didn’t want it to be permanent.

She had also voiced concern about the impact of the ban on her followers.
