After a deadly terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, the Indian Army launched a retaliatory air strike against nine militant hideouts in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
Pakistani Celebrities React
The attack was a response to the Pahalgam terrorist attack that claimed the lives of 26 Indians. Pakistani actors Hania Aamir and Mahira Khan took to Instagram to express their outrage.
- Hania Aamir wrote, “I don’t have the right words… just anger, pain, and a hurt heart.”
- Mahira Khan said, “Seriously cowardly. May Allah protect our country and give us wisdom. Ameen.”
The Indian government’s swift response was a result of the widespread outrage in India. The recent backlash led to several Pakistani actors having their Instagram accounts banned in India.
The situation continues to escalate, with both sides exchanging barbs. The international community watches closely as tensions rise.
