Bollywood actress Madhuri Dixit faced criticism after she announced collaboration with Houston-based Pakistani promoter Rehan Siddique. The poster of the event with the picture of the actress was shared by the columnist and political commentator Sunanda Vashisth on Friday.

Siddique is alleged to have ISI links and has been blacklisted by the Indian government. The event will occur in August 2024, just a day after Independence Day in Houston, Texas.

Sunanda slammed Madhuri for teaming up with Rehan and urged the actress to call off the event. Along with the post, she also shared a four-year-old letter from the BJP minister Kishan Reddy, who was the MoS Home Affairs.

The letter states that Rehan has been ‘blacklisted’ by the Indian government. However, a source close to the actress denied the reports.

“Shocked to see @MadhuriDixit collaborate with Pakistani origin promoter who has been on the radar of Indian agencies and has been blacklisted by Govt of India. Minister @kishanreddybjp as MoS Home had publicly announced that Houston-based Pakistani origin promoter, Rehan Siddiqi has been blacklisted and had requested Bollywood celebrities to not work with him,” she wrote on X.

So far the actress has not responded to the controversy. Condemning the post,  a user wrote, “Agreed no money from films but reality shows earning r not enough… hubby doctor…seems lifestyle too high to manage day to day expenses”.

While another commented, “Madhuri Dixit has truly disappointed. I get that Bollywood folks aren’t trust worthy as such but I had respect for her assuming she wouldn’t collaborate with anti-India elements. I’m now more than convinced now that they are all same. No exception.”

Meanwhile, on the work front, Madhuri has recently produced the Marathi film Panchak. She is currently in the shoot of Dance Deewane 3.
