He recounted the distressing experiences he endured at the hands of Pakistani agencies in 2019, which led to his forced departure from the country. Shayan shared that he fell into a state of depression and nearly lost all hope.
However, he believes it was Lord Krishna who intervened and gave him the strength to persevere. Shayan now feels a responsibility to repay the support he received.
“After being forced to leave Pakistan in 2019 due to persecution by Pakistani agencies, I sank into a deep depression and teetered on the edge of surrender. But then, ‘Krishna’ reached out to me, and now it is my duty to give back and bring honor to my ancestors,” Ali tweeted.
Shayan further expressed his eagerness to return to his ancestral homeland, India, where his grandparents and ancestors originated. He longs to embrace the land and its people, as he believes that “home is where the heart resides.”
While announcing his “ghar wapsi,” Shayan Ali made it clear that as a follower of Sanatana Dharma, he does not endorse any form of religious hatred. He holds deep respect for the beliefs and practices of all religions, and he hopes for the same mutual respect towards his own.
In a previous disclosure made in May this year, Shayan Ali shared the circumstances that led him to flee Pakistan. He revealed being falsely accused of being a Jewish agent and a member of the Indian Intelligence Agency, R&AW, after he declined to participate in a PR music video on Kashmir proposed by the Pakistani intelligence agency, ISI.
