Many Bollywood actors, including Vicky Kaushal, Janhvi Kapoor, and Sidharth Malhotra, condemned the Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 tourists and left many injured.
Vicky Kaushal took to Instagram and wrote, "Can't imagine the pain of the family members who lost their loved ones in the absolutely inhumane act of terrorism in Pahalgam. My deepest condolences and prayers”.
Filmmaker Karan Johar shared a post and wrote, “This is heartbreaking ... Prayers to the families and loved ones of the innocent lives lost in this heinous attack...”
Sidharth Malhotra also condemned the terror attack and wrote he has full faith in the armed forces.
He wrote, "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 do the needful and ensure justice. My prayers and thoughts are with the families of the innocent victims. Jai Hind!"
Janhvi Kapoor said she was 'at a loss for words' after reading about the devastating news.
She wrote, “Shocked and heart broken for the innocent lives lost in the Pahalgam terrorist attack. Cowardly, trigger happy, soullessly conditioned monsters on a mission to carry out barbaric acts of injustice in the misinformed guise of duty. I pray for justice but i fear this time nothing will be enough to quell this seething anger caused by such repeated acts of terror and evil. Praying for the souls we lost and their families. Your people are with you. We mourn with you. May gods strength see you through this unimaginable pain”.
Mohanlal wrote, “My heart goes out to the victims of the Pahalgam terror attack. It is devastating to witness such cruelty. No cause can ever justify the taking of innocent lives. To the grieving families, your sorrow is beyond words. Please know that you are not alone. The entire nation stands with you in mourning. Let us hold on to each other a little tighter and never let go of the hope that peace will prevail even in the face of darkness.”
Kamal Haasan also wrote on his X account, “I strongly condemn the heinous terror attack in Pahalgam. My thoughts are with the families who have lost their loved ones, and I wish strength and recovery to the injured. India stands united — in grief, in resolve, and in our commitment to uphold law, order, and national security”.
Director and actor Farhan Akhtar, who hosted the screening of Ground Zero in Srinagar last week, condemned the attack on social media. He wrote on Instagram, “Deeply shocked and horrified by the brutal terrorist attack in Pahalgam. This senseless act of violence against innocent lives is absolutely inexcusable and must be condemned in the strongest possible terms. My heartfelt condolences go out to the families of those who lost their lives and I stand in solidarity with the people of Kashmir during this tragic time”.
At least 26 persons -- mostly tourists -- were killed by terrorists on Tuesday at the Baisaran meadows in Pahalgam in one of the worst terror attacks on civilians in Kashmir in the past many years.
