Popular Bollywood star Ridhi Dogra has opened up about her reservations and concerns before signing a film with Pakistani heartthrob Fawad Khan. In case the readers are not aware, shortly after India lifted the ban on Pakistani actors from working in Bollywood, Fawad Khan marked his return to the neighboring industry with the announcement of his upcoming film, Abir Gulaal, in which he stars alongside Vaani Kapoor.
Abir Gulaal co-actor Ridhi Dogra lately appeared in an interview session where she revealed that she ensured legal checks were clear before signing on a project with Fawad Khan. "I don't think there's a division in art. Whenever we watch something, we watch it for the characters. We don't wonder who the actors are and where they come from. We don't see all that. We don't see nationality. That's what I kept in mind when choosing to work on the film."
Ridhi added: "The only care I took was in confirming whether or not I am allowed to work with said nationality (Pakistanis). And yes, our country and government grant us the permission to do so. I did that homework. Now, since that is allowed, I have the freedom (to take on this project). If it wasn't allowed, I wouldn't have done it."
