Pakistani Actresses Stir Storm Using Alia's Raazi Track For Ind Day
When Alia's Raazi anthem gets caught between borders, Twitterati isn't holding back.

Plot twist nobody saw coming: Pakistani actresses decided to celebrate their Independence Day with a song from Alia Bhatt’s Raazi, and the internet absolutely noticed. As per reports spreading across Indian media, the choice sparked swift and fierce social media backlash, with users questioning the logic behind using music from a film so obviously centered on India-Pakistan relations and conflict.
The irony didn’t escape a single person online. Using the track from Raazi, which counts Alia as part of its cast, for Pakistan’s Independence Day festivities rubbed plenty of people the wrong way, and Twitter essentially combusted with heated commentary. The moment touched on cultural and political sensitivities that neither side was particularly shy about calling out loudly. It’s a perfect example of how Bollywood can accidentally ignite international social media drama in seconds.
Whether this was intentional provocation or just a song choice nobody thought through carefully enough, one thing’s certain: it’s given everyone on the internet plenty to debate and dissect. Our cameras and sources are tracking every twist of this escalating story.
