Filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt has urged for the utilisation of cultural space as a means to foster ties between India and neighbour Pakistan. “I have always crusaded for Indo-Pak peace through the cultural space. People used to criticize me when I first released films in Pakistan. But today you have got Pakistani soaps and shows doing successfully in India,” Bhatt said. The filmmaker was present at a fashion show here late last evening where designers from Pakistan showed their creations in support of the orphan girl child. The fashion show, is a precursor to the four-day long lifestyle exposition, ‘Alishan Pakistan’ organised by Trade Development Authority of Pakistan (TDAP) in collaboration with FICCI, which begins here today. Meanwhile, Bhatt said the cultural exchanges between India and Pakistan, which he crusaded for years, will “eventually fulfill the dream of the father of the nation Mahatma Gandhi of the two countries walking hand-in-hand.”
