Harshvardhan Rane DECLINES Sanam Teri Kasam 2 With Pakistani Actress Mawra Hocane
- Harshvardhan Rane announced on Saturday, May 10, 2025, that he will decline to star in Sanam Teri Kasam 2 if the original cast, including Pakistani actress Mawra Hocane, returns.

- The All Indian Cine Workers Association reiterated its strict ban on collaborations with Pakistani artists, labeling such work a betrayal of national pride amid cross-border conflict.
- Rane expressed appreciation for the opportunity but stated that, given the derogatory remarks about India attributed to Hocane—who condemned Indian military actions as unjustified—he has chosen to respectfully withdraw from participating in the sequel.
- Rane's refusal highlights the entertainment industry's impact by geopolitical tensions and suggests ongoing cultural separation during this volatile period between the two nuclear neighbors.
