Bollywood's link with Pakistan's ISI has not been established by the Indian authorities. BJP Vice-President Baijayant Jay Panda had alleged that some unnamed Bollywood personalities have personal and business links with Pakistanis, NRIs, and Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), which are having a track record of encouraging violence in Jammu and Kashmir. His accusations were based on tweets posted by Al Iskandar, who claimed that there was a link between Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan and Tony Ashai, who has allegedly been instigating the Kashmiri youth to take up arms against security forces. Many other big names of Bollywood were also mentioned. Tony Ashai dismissed the allegations that he is an agent of Pakistani spy agency ISI. He said that he has threatened to sue them in California courts if they don’t apologize within 48 hours.
The Indian government or any other agencies who are tasked into looking into the matter have not responded to the allegations. With no official confirmation from the relevant sources, the veracity of this claim cannot be established.
