'Love on Both Sides': Sunny Deol Blames 'Political Game' for Hatred Between India, Pakistan | WATCH

Actor and BJP MP from Punjab’s Gurdaspur Sunny Deol on Wednesday blamed the “political game” for the hatred between India and Pakistan.

Deol’s remarks came during the trailer release of his film Gadar 2 which is slated to hit theatres on August 11.

“There is love on both sides (India-Pakistan). It is the political game that creates all this hatred. And you will see the same in this film as well that the people do not want us to fight with each other,” he said.

The actor’s statement comes as two cross-border “love” stories recently caught the attention of both India and Pakistan. A Pakistani woman, Seema Haider, entered India illegally with her four children to marry an Indian who she met on PUBG mobile game. In a similar case, an Indian woman, a mother of two children, went to Pakistan and married a local who she met on Facebook.

The trailer of Gadar 2 was launched in Mumbai at a special press conference with Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel attending it.
