Indian television actor Kushal Tandon recently went on social media to strongly respond to a going-viral clip of former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan praising Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The clip appeared online in the wake of the horrific Pahalgam terror attack, in which some very brave soldiers lost their lives and the nation was left mourning.
In the now-viral clip, Imran Khan can be seen acknowledging PM Modi’s leadership and India’s global standing, noting how the Indian Prime Minister has steered the country forward in various sectors. The unexpected praise from across the border stirred reactions across the Indian political and entertainment spectrum.
Some who responded included Barsatein star Kushal Tandon, who posted the clip on his Instagram story with an impactful caption which struck a chord with many:
"JAB DUSHMAN BHI TAREEF KARNE KO MAJBOOR HO JAYEEEE"His remark implicitly underlined India's increasing international significance, but it also spoke about the national psyche of pride at challenging times.
Tandon's post has gone viral among fans and followers with many praising him for expressing the feelings of a majority of Indians. Although the political situation surrounding Imran Khan's statement remains controversial, the acclaim has provided a new dimension to prevailing discourse on regional issues, particularly at a time when India is dealing with domestic security issues such as the recent Pahalgam attack.
As the country stands firm as one against terrorism, responses such as Tandon's are not only an indication of the surge in nationalism but also of the effect of cross-border utterances on public awareness.
Tandon had also reacted to Karan Veer Mehra's poetry, slamming him as it interpreted in the wrong light.
On the work front, Kushal Tandon continues to stay active in the television and OTT space. He was last seen in the romantic drama Barsaatein – Mausam Pyaar Ka, where his chemistry with co-star Shivangi Joshi garnered significant attention. Known for his intense screen presence and versatility, Kushal has been exploring more layered characters and is reportedly in talks for upcoming web projects. With a strong fan base and evolving choices, he is steadily carving a niche for himself in the digital entertainment industry.
