After Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman safely crossed over to India on Friday, public and celebrities have been cheering for him and the Indian Air Force. Bollywood actress Preity Zinta, too, took to Twitter to express her joy and lauded India's warriors.
In a tweet, she wrote: “People in America r shocked dat a 65year old Russian #MIG21 shot down an American made & sold #F16 at the India Pak border.This tells a lot about pilot training.The best plane is the one with the best pilot inside (sic).”
The tweet, however, didn't seem to have gone down well Pakistan's Minister for Broadcasting and Information Fawad Hussain Chaudhry. Taking a dig at Preity Zinta and Bollywood actors in general, Hussain said 'Bollywood walas' should stop poking their nose in issues beyond their understanding. He criticised educational qualification of the celebs, saying majority of them 'haven't even finished schooling and lack understanding of very basic issues'. “Wars are too serious a business to be discussed by jokers who became celebrities by stroke of luck,” he tweeted.

What Fawad Hussain probably does not know is that Preity Zinta, herself an army kid, holds an English (Honours) degree and a post graduate degree in criminal psychology.
