Bollywood celebrities condemn Pahalgam terror attack, pray for the deceased

Several Bollywood celebrities have expressed their grief and outrage over the brutal terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir, which claimed the lives of around 28 people, most of them tourists. The incident, described as the deadliest since the 2019 Pulwama strike, has left the nation in mourning.

Anushka Sharma, who comes from an army background, shared her anguish on Instagram, writing:

“Heartbroken to hear about the cold-blooded terror attack on innocent people in Pahalgam, Kashmir. Heartfelt prayers and condolences to their families. This is a heinous attack that will never be forgotten.”

Alia Bhatt, expressing deep grief, said:

“The news from Pahalgam is heartbreaking. Innocent lives lost. Tourists, families, people who were just... living. Seeking beauty. Seeking peace. And now there's only grief. Every time something like this happens, it chips away at our shared humanity. May those souls rest in peace. And may those left behind find strength somehow – though I don't know how we even begin to ask that of them.”

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan also expressed his shock and outrage following the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir.  

In a heartfelt post on social media, Khan condemned the "treachery and inhumane act of violence" that left the region reeling, urging for justice and unity in the face of such tragedy. Taking to his Instagram stories, Shah Rukh shared a note that read, “Words fail to express the sadness and anger at the treachery and inhumane act of violence that has occurred in Pahalgam. In times like these, one can only turn to God and say a prayer for the families that suffered and express my deepest condolences. May we as a Nation, stand united, strong and get justice against this heinous act.”

Janhvi Kapoor called the incident "barbaric," stating:

“I’m at a loss for words, shocked and heartbroken for the innocent lives lost in the terrorist attack. Cowardly, trigger-happy, soullessly conditioned monsters on a mission to carry out barbaric acts of injustice. I pray for justice, but fear nothing will be enough to quell this seething anger caused by such repeated acts of terror. Praying for the souls we lost and their families.”

Sidharth Malhotra, who portrayed Captain Vikram Batra in Shershaah, posted on X (formerly Twitter):

“The terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir on innocent civilians is a cowardly act. I have full faith in our armed forces and I’m sure they will ensure justice. My prayers and thoughts are with the families of the innocent victims. Jai Hind!”

Sanjay Dutt, known for LOC Kargil, urged retaliation:

“They killed our people in cold blood. This can’t be forgiven. These terrorists need to know we are not staying quiet. I request our Prime Minister and the government to take decisive action.”

Allu Arjun shared:

“Soo heartbroken by #PahalgamAttack. Such a beautiful place with kind-hearted people. Condolences to the families. May their innocent souls rest in peace. Truly heartbreaking.”
