    Mahira Khan is a successful Pakistani actress and cultural icon. The majority of her work has been in Pakistan, although in 2017 she made in debut in the Hindi film industry with the film ‘Raees’, co-starring with Shah Rukh Khan. Historically when tensions between India and Pakistan have been high, Bollywood films have often been banned in Pakistan, and the Indian Motion Picture Producers Association has also banned Pakistani actors from working in India. For the purposes of this debate, a prominent and well-funded Bollywood studio is producing a high budget film telling the story of the romance of an Indian and Pakistani couple, intended to convey a positive message of kinship and compassion. Mahira has been offered the female lead, and is invited to travel to India for filming. The Indian government has offered a visa and travel method that bypasses the existing travel bans applied as a result of ongoing tensions. Assume COVID-19 is not a consideration in this debate

These ”Asian values” are often said to contrast with those of the West, which are usually described as focusing on individual liberty and democratic ideals.
