On April 22, 2025, the serene town of Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir was shattered by a heinous terrorist attack. Militants opened fire on a group of tourists in the Baisaran Valley, resulting in the tragic loss of 26 lives, including 25 Indian nationals and one Nepali citizen. This incident marks one of the deadliest attacks on civilians in the region in recent years, sending shockwaves across the nation and the entertainment industry.

 

Bollywood’s Heartfelt Reactions

The Indian film fraternity expressed deep sorrow and condemnation over the barbaric act:

• 

• Shah Rukh Khan shared a heartfelt post on Instagram, featuring a black image with the words “Pahalgam Attack – Never Forget.” In his caption, Bollywood’s King wrote, “Violence against innocents can never be justified.

• Alia Bhatt and Kareena Kapoor Khan reposted visuals from the site of the attack and wrote, “This cannot be our reality. Such inhumanity must be met with the strictest consequences.” Both actresses from Bollywood have been vocal in the past about their stance on terrorism and peace in the Kashmir region.

• Allu Arjun, though from the South film industry, showed solidarity with the victims. He wrote, “Terror knows no boundaries. We stand together in grief and rage. Kashmir is India, and we will protect it with unity and strength.”
• Veteran Bollywood actor Anupam Kher, who hails from Kashmir, posted an emotionally charged video. In it, with tears in his eyes, he said, “The blood of my people stains the valleys once again. When will this stop? The world must see this genocide against Hindus and innocent civilians. Enough is enough.”
• Riteish Deshmukh tweeted, “Shaken and broken. What kind of mindset targets tourists and children? Praying for strength to the bereaved families and swift justice to the monsters behind this.”

Public Outrage and Calls for Action

The attack has ignited widespread outrage among the public, with many demanding stringent actions against those responsible. Social media platforms are flooded with calls to ban Pakistani artists from working in India, with Fawad Khan being a focal point of the discourse. Citizens are urging the government to take decisive steps to ensure national security and prevent such incidents in the future.

Government’s Stern Response

In the wake of the attack, the Indian government implemented several measures:

Prime Minister Narendra Modi chaired a high-level meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Security, emphasizing the need for a decisive response. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh vowed to track down not only the perpetrators but also those who conspired behind the scenes, asserting India’s zero-tolerance policy against terrorism.

Impact on Tourism and Local Sentiments

Local residents, who rely heavily on tourism for their livelihood, expressed grief and anger over the incident, fearing long-term economic repercussions. The region, already sensitive due to past conflicts, now faces renewed challenges in maintaining peace and stability.
