Fawad issued a statement on his official Facebook page and wrote, "I've been in Lahore since July as my wife and I had been expecting our second child.
I've received numerous requests from the media and from well wishers worldwide asking me for my thoughts on the sad incidents that took place in the past few weeks. As a father of two little children, I pray and wish like many others that together we can build and live in a more peaceful world. I believe we owe it to our children who will shape our tomorrow.
This is the first time I have spoken on the matter. Please disregard any other words attributed to me during this time because I have not said them. I thank all my fans and fellow artists from Pakistan, India and people in general all over the world who have shown continued support for their belief in love and understanding to unite a divisive world."
The actor, who is one of the most-sought after Pakistani imports to Bollywood, has been at the center of a political storm since Raj Thackeray-led Maharashtra Navnirman Sena threatened Pakistani artistes to leave India.
They want a ban on Pakistani artistes in the wake of Uri terror attack.
IMPAA (Indian Motion Pictures' Artists Association) has come out with a resolution to ban all Pakistani artistes and technicians till the situation is back to normal.
The issue, however, has divided the Indian film industry with people like Salman Khan, Karan Johar, Anurag Kashyap and Hansal Mehta opposing the demand for the ban while celebrities like Randeep Hooda, Sonali Bendre, Nana Patekar and others backing it.
His next is Karan Johar's "Ae Dil Hai Mushkil", which might face a roadblock in its release due to Fawad's presence in it.
