Fans of the 2016 romantic drama Sanam Teri Kasam have long awaited a sequel—but the dream may be crumbling. Lead actor Harshvardhan Rane has publicly stated he will not return if Pakistani actress Mawra Hocane remains part of the project.
The reason? Political tensions between India and Pakistan, along with Hocane’s past remarks on India’s military actions. With Rane taking a firm stand, will Sanam Teri Kasam 2 proceed without its original stars? Let’s dive into the controversy.
Why is Sanam Teri Kasam 2 Facing Trouble?
Harshvardhan Rane’s Strong Stance
In a recent Instagram post, Rane declared:
“I have decided to respectfully decline to be part of Sanam Teri Kasam 2 if the previous cast returns.”
Reasons Behind His Decision:
- Mawra Hocane previously criticized India’s military operations, calling them “cowardly.”
- Rane, standing by his country, refuses to work with someone holding such views.
Mawra Hocane’s Response    Â
Hocane dismissed Rane’s statement as a “PR stunt,” further fueling the debate. With both actors at odds, the sequel’s future looks uncertain.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s Next for the Sequel?
With political tensions affecting casting, Sanam Teri Kasam 2 hangs in the balance. Possible outcomes:

- Keep Mawra Hocane → Rane exits, sequel likely canceled.
For now, fans can rewatch the original on legal platforms—and wait for official updates.
