Amid the rising tensions between India and Pakistan over the recent Pahalgam terror attack, a video featuring a bizarre and humorous “face-off” between two individuals—one Indian and one Pakistani—has gone viral on social media. While the two nations exchange sharp diplomatic blows, the video shows an exaggerated, almost theatrical version of this rivalry playing out online.
A War of Words and Props
Shared by X user Chiragh Baloch, the video shows an Indian man—reportedly a Sikh—shouting, “India Zindabad and Pakistan Murdabad,” while holding a fake arrow-like object and making stabbing gestures towards his screen opponent. The Pakistani counterpart responds in kind, waving a knife-shaped prop in return.
“Due to security reasons, #India and #Pakistan have taken the war online. #IndiaPakistanWar,” the caption humorously read.

Internet Reacts with Laughter
Social media users were quick to flood the post with reactions. One user commented, “Unbelievable,” followed by laughing emojis, while another joked, “War from home.” A third quipped, “Long-distance warship.”
@SubhraRanjanPat added a particularly viral take: “It’s like Phone sx for two lovers in long distance. Dur se hi maje le rahe hai (having fun from afar).”*

Why Invite Each Other on TV?
Another user questioned the frequent inclusion of Pakistani guests in Indian media debates, writing: “Why does Indian media need to invite Pakistani commentators?” One reply sarcastically explained, “Because it brings out the best in us (pun intended). And gives the channel what it wants. A viral news cycle. A live on-air skirmish.”
TV News or Comedy Show?
While heated panel discussions are nothing new, the drama has reached new levels. In another widely circulated video, a debate on Zee News’ Taal Thok Ke show descended into chaos when two panellists physically attacked each other over Islamic preacher Zakir Naik. The altercation, complete with abuse and blows, drew widespread ridicule online.
Political Tensions Still High
Despite the comic relief, real-world tensions between India and Pakistan remain serious. Following the Pahalgam attack, India has taken steps such as banning Pakistani aircraft from its airspace and suspending social media accounts of several Pakistani celebrities in India.
As this viral video shows, in the digital age, even international conflict isn’t immune to satire—turning weapons into props and battles into broadcasts.
