When asked indirectly about Fawad Khan’s previous troubles in India, Shazeal didn’t mince words. “If I was in his place, I would have condemned India,” she stated, criticizing Fawad for staying silent during the backlash he faced. She added, “Faith is everything. If India rejects you, there’s always Hollywood.”
