The Bollywood superstar stopped the war in Afghanistan and filmed his blockbuster movie, escorted by 10 tanks, he is…, the movie is…
The arts have the ability to stop the troops, which is proven when Amitabh Bachchan arrived in Afghanistan, which led to a day’s halt in the civil war.
Actors who stopped the war in Afghanistan
India and Pakistan recently entered Loggerheads after Operation Sindoor. The retaliatory attacks of Indian armed forces against the Pahargam terrorist attacks ultimately destroyed nine terrorist camps in Poji and Pakistan. After several days of counterattack, both countries agreed to a ceasefire. It is said that art has the right to stop the troops. Today, we will discuss when the existence of Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan made the war stop.
In 1992, Amitabh Bachchan and Sridevi attended Khuda Gawah. The director of Mukul S. Anand was shot in Afghanistan, especially in Kabul and Mazar-i-Sharif. At that time, Afghanistan was in a civil war, which made the situation very dangerous.
It is reported that the daughter of then-Afghan President Najibra personally asked her father to stop the war for one day. She made the request so that India’s biggest star Amitabh could safely explore Kabul and people could have the opportunity to meet him.

This fascinating story is shared by a former Afghan ambassador with a famous Indian journalist. Interestingly, even Burhanuddin Rabbani, the leader of his rival at the time in Afghanistan, sent a message saying he was a big fan of the Deewaar actor and assured him and the film crew that they were safe. He even visited Amitabh in person as a gesture of kindness.
During their stay, the Afghan government did its best to ensure their safety. Whenever Amitabh and the film crew went to shoot, they were escorted by a convoy of tanks – in the front, and in the rear, five.
Amitabh Bachchan himself recalls this memorable experience from Facebook posts in 2013, which became popular at the time. Amitabh Bachchan shared in his post that they are not allowed to stay in hotels. Instead, a local family generously vacated their own home for the film crew and moved into a smaller house by themselves. For those who have not experienced the incident, Khuda Gawah is a major blockbuster. The film earned about Rs 1705 crore in India on a budget of about Rs 570 crore.
