Anyone who has experienced it would never wish it upon others.”

Netizens Critique Film Participation and Patriotism

Some netizens noted Razdan’s performance in patriotic movies such as Raazi and remarked that they were frustrated over her calling for peace. To this comment, Razdan responded, maintaining that supporting peace does not equate to a lack of support for war. She said, “Peace should be between two countries, unless you think Pakistan is fighting itself?”

Soni Razdan Responds to Criticism Over Citizenship
