Pakistani actress and television host Nadia Khan has sharply criticised Indian media for its coverage of the recent Pakistan-India tensions, calling their reporting overly theatrical and seemingly premeditated.

Appearing on a talk show recently, She commented on the tone and style of Indian news channels amid the ongoing cross-border conflict.

She remarked that the coordinated coverage and detailed visuals suggested that Indian media had been “prepared two months in advance.”

“The way Indian media has been reporting — it makes you laugh out loud. It feels like they’re not delivering news but putting on a cartoon show,” Khan said during the programme.

She further added that Indian media has turned Prime Minister Narendra Modi into a larger-than-life figure.

“They’ve presented him like Aishwarya Rai. It seemed like months of facials had been done. The prep was clearly already in place,” she said.
