   The Pakistani film industry is a strong opponent of peace with India. 
On why, they say with a smile, "After seeing your films, who will watch 
Pakistani films?"

Pakistan has a love-hate relationship with Bollywood and Hindi TV soaps. 
Top businessmen in Karachi's exclusive Boat Club pine for Aishwarya Rai; 
the middle classes patronise the illegally obtained video cassettes/VCDs 
of Indian films, which are available in Lahore and Karachi. Posters of 
Aamir Khan, Aishwarya Rai, Preity Zinta and the rest sell like hot 
cakes. But at the same time, Hindi films and soaps are blamed by 
conservative Pakistanis for corrupting people across the border.
