‘Pahalgam Bleeds… And So Do We’

‘No
words
can
heal
the
wounds
of
a
mother
who
lost
her
child,
or
a
friend
who
lost
their
companion.
But
we
must
speak,
we
must
feel,
and
we
must
remember.’

Film
folk
continue
to
post
messages
condemning
the


Pahalgam
terror
attack that
rocked
the
nation.

Kartik
Aaryan:
Have
experienced
the
heavenly
beauty
and
calmness
of
Pahalgam
and
now
seeing
such
devastating
visuals
from
the
same
place
is
so
heartbreaking.
Such
evil
acts
are
unforgivable.
Prayers
and
strength
to
the
families
who
lost
their
loved
ones.

Shriya
Pilgaonkar:
Devastated
beyond
words
by
the
brutal
terrorist
attack
on
innocent
tourists
in
Pahalgam.

To
think
of
friends,
families,
lovers-simply
seeking
peace
in
the
breathtaking
beauty
of
that
valley-only
to
be
ambushed
and
killed
for
their
faith,
is
both
enraging
and
heartbreaking.

It’s
an
act
of
pure
evil. A
cowardly
strike
against
humanity
itself. Terrorists
thrive
on
fear.
They
aim
to
divide,
to
paralyze,
to
shatter
the
soul
of
society.
But
in
moments
like
this,
we
must
choose
unity
and
refuse
to
be
broken.

No
one
deserves
this. And
amidst
the
horror,
let’s
not
forget
the
devastating
ripple
effect
this
has
on
the
civilians
of
Kashmir-the
ones
who
rely
on
tourism
to
survive,
and
who
also
want
peace
in
their
land.

We
all
deserve
a
future
untouched
by
violence.

Arjun
Rampal:
The
most
cowardly
darstardly
act
is
attack
on
innocent
people.
Who
can’t
defend
themselves.
Imagine
someone
from
your
family
going
for
a
holiday
to
celebrate
love
and
never
returning,
just
because
you
are
Hindu.
Heartfelt
condolences
to
the
families
who
grive
such
losses.
To
those
cowards,
lets
set
the
record
straight
Kashmir
is
and
forever
will
be
in
India.
Nothing
changes
that.

Ishaan
Khatter:
What
happened
in
Kashmir
is
devastating.
This
is
not
what
any
innocent
civilian
deserves,
this
is
not
what
Kashmiris
deserve
and
it’s
certainly
not
ordained
by
any
god
to
take
a
life
in
the
name
of
religion. I
hope
we
as
a
society
are
evolved
enough
to
see
this
for
what
it
is
–
a
cowardly
and
heinous
crime
of
terror. My
deepest
condolences
to
the
families
who
lost
their
loved
ones.

Bhumi
Pednekar: It’s
been
a
day
full
of
heart
ache
and
pure
sadness.
One
of
the
darkest
days
our
country
has
witnessed
in
recent
times.
Innocent
lives
lost
over
hatred.
Families
destroyed
and
torn.
Every
visual
out
of
Pahalgam
shakes
our
souls.
My
deepest
condolences
to
all.
Zero
tolerance
for
terror.
May
peace
win
over
violence.
May
love
win
over
hate.

Dia
Mirza:
Our
hearts
are
heavy
with
grief.
The
pain
we
share
must
fuel
our
collective
resolve
–
to
stand
united,
to
speak
louder
for
peace,
and
to
act
against
hate
in
all
its
forms.

The
perpetrators
of
this
brutal,
senseless
violence
must
be
held
accountable.
Justice
must
prevail. Let
us
come
together
–
as
one
humanity
–
and
say,
enough.
We
will
not
let
hate
divide
us.
We
will
not
be
silent.

Karan
Johar:
Uneasiness
since
one
has
heard
of
the
unforgivable
Pahalgam
attacks…
the
sheer
brutality
of
the
killings,
the
images
of
helpless
family
members
reeling
in
utter
shock
and
dismay…
just
the
horror
of
how
your
entire
life
can
change
in
a
flash
by
inhuman
and
misguided
sick
minds…
I
can’t
get
any
of
this
out
of
my
head.

Nora
Fatehi:
The
recent
terror
attacks
in
Pahalgam
have
left
me
heartbroken,
angry,
&
deeply
disillusioned.
How
many
more
innocent
lives
must
be
lost
before
we
say
enough?

Every
day,
somewhere
in
the
world,
ordinary
people,
children,
parents,
friends—are
caught
in
the
crossfire
of
hatred,
power,
and
senseless
violence.
It’s
exhausting.
It’s
maddening.
I’m
tired
of
mourning.
I’m
sick
&
tired
of
scrolling
through
news
that
reads
like
a
tragic
cycle
on
repeat.

We
must
pray
for
the
innocent
victims.
Not
just
today,
not
just
for
a
moment.
They
deserve
our
compassion,
our
grief,
&
our
voices
raised
in
solidarity.
But
prayer
alone
isn’t
enough.
We
need
real,
global
accountability.
We
must
stand
against
any
form
of
terror—no
matter
the
ideology,
religion,
or
political
goal
that
tries
to
justify
it.

Humanity
is
bleeding,
&
unless
we
reclaim
our
collective
conscience,
unless
we
start
seeing
every
life
as
our
own,
we
will
continue
to
lose
what
little
hope
we
have
left.

Khushboo
Sundar:
Pahalgam
bleeds…
and
so
do
we. Today,
a
place
known
for
its
serene
beauty
and
the
whispers
of
pine
trees
has
been
pierced
by
violence.
Pahalgam,
once
a
symbol
of
peace,
is
now
echoing
with
cries
of
pain
and
sorrow.

Innocent
lives
lost.
Families
shattered.
Dreams
turned
to
dust. We
stand
in
grief
with
those
affected.
No
words
can
heal
the
wounds
of
a
mother
who
lost
her
child,
or
a
friend
who
lost
their
companion.
But
we
must
speak,
we
must
feel,
and
we
must
remember.

This
should
never
be
normal.
This
should
never
be
okay. May
peace
return
to
the
valleys,
and
may
love
always
rise
louder
than
hate.

The
peace
of
my
motherland
cannot
be
destroyed
by
the
dastardly
coward
act
of
the
so-called
Muslim
fanatics.
I
am
a
Muslim,
and
i
am
an
Indian.
And
an
extremely
proud
one.
The
attack
and
killings
of
innocent
victims
in
Pahalgam
is
a
clear
sign
of
what
a
scared,
shaken,
coward,
religion
driven
fanatics
who
claim
to
be
God
fearing
but
in
reality
are
the
most
scared
inhuman
beasts,
do
to
save
their
skin.
No
religion
asks
for
sacrifice
of
a
human.
No
religion
teaches
you
terrorism.

Islam
does
not
believe
in
the
killings
of
humans.
These
terrorists
are
dirtiest
blot
in
the
name
of
Islam.
This
cowardly
act
must
be
condemned
by
all.
No
true
Muslim,
who
believes
in
the
teachings
of
Allah,
will
ever
support
this.

Pakistan
has
time
and
again
tried
to
disrupt
the
peace
of
my
motherland,
my
India.
They
need
to
be
dealt
with
very
strong
actions
and
taught
a
lesson,
for
they
have
been
safeguarding
these
terrorists.
Wonder
which
Allah
they
believe
in.
I
doubt
they
are
true
Muslims.
Terrorism
is
in
their
DNA.

Heart
bleeds
to
see
and
hear
the
cries
of
those
who
have
lost
their
families
and
loved
one.
I
cry
with
my
brothers
and
sisters
who
are
going
through
so
much
of
pain.
We
stand
with
you.
INDIA
stands
with
you. Nation
is
with
you.

Juhi
Parmar:
I
am
heart
broken.
I
am
furious.
I
am
in
pain.
What
happened
in
Pahalgam
is
not
just
tragic
–
It’s
inhuman.
Innocent
lives-
families,
children,
travellers
gunned
down
without
mercy.
People
who
came
looking
for
peace
were
met
with
bullets.
Blood
soaked
a
land
known
for
its
beauty.

How
do
you
even
begin
to
grieve
this?
How
do
you
explain
to
a
child
that
their
parents
won’t
ever
come
back?
How
do
you
tell
a
newly
wed
to
cope
with
the
loss
of
her
husband?
How
do
you
tell
yourself
this
isn’t
just
another
headline?

THIS
IS
UNACCEPTABLE.
These
are
not
just
“terrorists”
They
are
monsters.
And
monsters
must
be
hunted
down
and
erased.
No
sympathy.
No
second
chances.
No
mercy.
This
is
not
something
we
move
on
from.
I
plead
with
the
government

Shirley
Setia:
Dont
know
how
to
begin
writing
this.
Pahalgam
terror
attack.
Heartbreaking..
terrifying..
they
were
on
a
vacation..
no
one
in
their
nightmares
will
also
think
of
something
like
this.
All
the
precious
lives
that
were
lost;
their
families’
lives
will
never
be
the
same
again.
Just
absolutely
heart
crushing!!
May
their
soul
rest
in
peace..
sending
strength
for
their
families
and
loved
ones.

Soni
Razdan:
The
darkness
we
feel
inside
is
not
going
to
be
able
to
dissolve
so
easily.
It’s
going
to
be
terribly
hard
to
come
back
from
this.
Our
collective
hearts
go
out
to
the
victims
of
this
dastardly
act.
Helpless
citizens
can
only
pray
that
somehow
someday
this
will
all
end.
All
we
wanted
was
for
Kashmir
to
be
whole
again
and
for
there
to
be
peace
in
the
valley.
It’s
everyone
who
suffers
when
a
terrorist
attack
takes
place.
The
victims
and
the
citizens
of
the
valley.
Terror
serves
no
one.
In
grief.

Badshah:
Our
hearts
are
shaken
at
the
heartbreaking
attack
on
civilians
in
Pahalgam.
We
stand
in
deep
solidarity
with
the
families
affected
and
with
the
entire
nation
during
this
profoundly
difficult
time.
As
a
mark
of
respect,
and
in
acknowledgment
of
the
gravity
of
this
moment,
we
have
decided
to
shift
our
release
till
further
notice.
Today,
we
pause
to
honor
the
lives
lost,
and
to
reflect
with
empathy
and
unity.
