“Chakraborty’s Missile-Ready Riposte: ‘One BrahMos After Another, Then a ‘Pee Dam’’—Directed Solely at Bilawal Bhutto”
IIE DIGITAL DESK : The sharp and theatrical response to former Pakistan Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari’s provocative comments about India’s Indus Waters Treaty projects, Bollywood actor-turned-BJP leader Mithun Chakraborty unleashed a brazen jibe, calling both heads and waters into play. Describing Bhutto’s remarks as dangerously provocative, Chakraborty warned that if such threats persisted, India’s patience would snap—delivering a tongue-in-cheek threat of successive BrahMos missile launches and the construction of a most unusual dam.
Mithun, speaking to reporters in Kolkata, didn’t mince words. "Agar aisi baatein karte rahenge aur hamari khopdi sanak gayi toh phir ek ke baad ek BrahMos chalega," he declared in Hindi, indicating that continuous provocations would trigger a powerful military answer. He went on to mock the situation further, illustrating the absurdity with gallows humor: imagining a dam where all 140 crore Indians would relieve themselves, only to unleash a tidal “tsunami” when its gates are opened—an image as cinematic as it is pointed.
By framing his remarks this way, Mithun framed the exchange not as a stand against the people of Pakistan, but deliberately and personally directed at Bilawal Bhutto. He clarified the statement was “message for ex-Pakistan foreign minister only,” dissociating it from any broader diplomatic implications.
The exchange follows an escalation of rhetorical hostilities. Bilawal had emphasized Pakistan’s dismay at India’s dam-building on Indus tributaries, portraying such activity as an assault on water rights, history, and civilization—warning of a possible war should tensions continue. Days earlier, Pakistan Army chief Field Marshal Asim Munir issued a nuclear-tinged warning, stating that Islamabad would retaliate forcefully if infringements continued. India’s government had swiftly dismissed these threats as irresponsible sabre-rattling and reaffirmed its commitment to defending national interests against pressure tactics.
Mithun’s theatrically crafted counter—mixing military imagery with absurdist humor—highlights how the latest clash is shaped as much by optics and rhetoric as it is by geopolitics. His delivery ensures the jibe lands both as a warning and as a mockery, pushing back at Pakistan’s statements through the lens of Bollywood flair.
The actor’s response underscores how public discourse between India and Pakistan continues to evolve—not just via official agencies and statements, but through performative and viral bites that capture popular attention, marshal cultural weight, and calibrate the tenor of rivalry—one BrahMos missile at a time.
