Bollywood reacts to the terror attack
The terror attack left several Bollywood celebrities, including Akshay Kumar and Sanjay Dutt, horrified. Akshay took to X to express his anger and wrote, “Horrified to know of the terror attack on tourists in Pahalgam. Sheer evil to kill innocent people like this. Prayers for their families.” 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.” Sanjay wrote, “They killed our people in cold blood. This can’t be forgiven, these terrorists need to know we are not staying quiet. We need to retaliate. I request our Prime Minister @narendramodi ji, Home Minister @AmitShah ji and Defence Minister @rajnathsingh ji to give them what they deserve.”
The terror attack claimed the lives of 26 people and left 20 others injured. The incident occurred on Tuesday around 3 pm when terrorists came down from the mountains in the Baisaran valley and started firing at tourists. Prime Minister Narendra Modi cut short his state visit to Saudi Arabia and decided to return to India.
Meanwhile, Samay has been grabbing headlines since an episode of his show India’s Got Latent sparked backlash following Ranveer Allahbadia’s controversial remark. Ranveer’s comment on parents and sex led to multiple FIRs being filed against the YouTuber, Samay, Apoorva Mukhija, and Ashish Chanchlani. On Tuesday, the Supreme Court reprimanded the comedian for alleged derogatory remarks about visually impaired individuals and people with disabilities on his show. The court said it was “really disturbed” by the comments. While Apoorva and Ranveer have already started making content, fans are waiting for Samay to be back with his comedy gigs.
