Bollywood superstar Salman Khan finds himself at the center of a social media storm after posting—and swiftly deleting—a tweet about the recent India-Pakistan ceasefire. His silence on India’s military response, Operation Sindoor, has ignited widespread criticism and debate.
🕊️ The Controversial Tweet
On Saturday night, Salman Khan took to X (formerly Twitter) to express relief over the announced ceasefire between India and Pakistan, writing, “Thank God for the ceasefire…” However, the post was met with immediate backlash from netizens who questioned his silence on Operation Sindoor, India’s retaliatory strikes following the Pahalgam terror attack that claimed 26 lives.
For those unaware, Salman Khan chose silence over support when Indian Military executed Operation Sindoor in response to Pahalgam terror Attack.
💥 Public Backlash and Deletion
Social media users were quick to point out the inconsistency in Salman’s responses. While he had previously condemned the Pahalgam attack, his lack of commentary on Operation Sindoor was seen as a glaring omission. The criticism intensified, leading Salman to delete the ceasefire tweet shortly after posting it.
🎯 Operation Sindoor: A Brief Overview
Launched on May 7, Operation Sindoor was India’s targeted military action against terrorist infrastructures in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. The operation aimed to dismantle camps linked to groups like Jaish-e-Mohammad and Lashkar-e-Taiba, responsible for the Pahalgam attack.
🎬 Bollywood’s Divided Stance
While Salman Khan remained silent on Operation Sindoor, other Bollywood celebrities voiced their support. Amitabh Bachchan lauded the operation, quoting his father’s poetry and lines from his film Agnipath. Kareena Kapoor, Karan Johar, and Raveena Tandon also expressed their views, highlighting the industry’s divided stance on the issue.
🗣️ Netizens’ Reactions
The online community didn’t hold back. One user tweeted, “No tweets about Operation Sindoor. Why?” Another commented, “Not a single tweet on Pahalgam but Salman Khan is very happy for the ceasefire…” The sentiment was clear: fans expected more vocal support from the actor during a time of national significance.
But his silence came as a shock for his fans and followers.
🧠 Reflecting on Celebrity Responsibility
This incident raises questions about the role of celebrities in national discourse. Should public figures like Salman Khan be more forthcoming in their support during critical national events? As they are the ones to bring such real life heros portrayal onscreen. Or is their silence a personal choice that should be respected? The debate continues.
