Actor Sanjay Dutt stated, “They murdered our people in cold blood. This cannot be forgiven; these terrorists need to understand that we will not remain silent. We must respond, I urge our Prime Minister @narendramodi ji, Home Minister @AmitShah ji, and Defence Minister @rajnathsingh ji to ensure they receive what they deserve. ”
Turning to her official Instagram Stories, Hina Khan, currently in Kashmir, posted a message expressing her shock regarding the attack. “Pahalgam. . . Why. . . Why. ”

Sidharth Malhotra, who is presently filming for Param Sundari in Kerala, also strongly denounced the terror attack.

Jai Hind! ”
Janhvi Kapoor felt “speechless” upon learning about the incident. She expressed, “Devastated and heartbroken for the innocent lives lost in the Pahalgam terrorist attack. Cowardly, trigger-happy, soullessly conditioned monsters on a mission to commit barbaric acts of injustice under the false pretense of duty. I pray for justice, but I fear this time nothing will be sufficient to contain this raging anger caused by such repeated acts of terror and evil. Praying for the souls we lost and their families. Your people are with you. We grieve with you. May God’s strength guide you through this unimaginable pain. ”
“I strongly denounce the cowardly terrorist attack on innocent tourists in Kashmir’s #Pahalgam. Terrorism should have no place in a civilized society, and this heinous act is intolerable. My heartfelt condolences to the families who lost their loved ones and prayers for the swift recovery of the injured. Om Sai ram,” posted Sonu Sood.
Anupam Kher shared a video regarding the attack and reminded people of his film The Kashmir Files. In his video, Anupam stated, “Today, what happened in Pahalgam, the slaughter of Hindus, where 27 Hindus were killed one by one, brings sorrow to my heart, but there are no bounds to the anger and rage I feel…” Reflecting on his previous experiences, he remarked, “I have witnessed this numerous times in my life, the plight of Kashmiri Hindus in Kashmir, and The Kashmir Files was merely a slight depiction of that story, which many labeled as propaganda…” (What transpired in Pahalgam today, the massacre of 27 Hindus, meticulously targeted and killed, weighs heavy on my heart, but my anger and fury know no limits. I’ve witnessed this occurrence too frequently throughout my life. This violence against Kashmiri Hindus in Kashmir. The Kashmir Files merely provided a faint snapshot of that reality, a small fragment of a far more extensive, painful truth. Yet, many dismissed it as propaganda. )
Raveena Tandon responded to the news of the attack, stating, “Om Shanti. My condolences. Shocked and enraged. No words can depict the grief. Sending prayers and strength to the victims. It’s time we all set aside petty internal disputes, UNITE, and recognize the true adversary. ”

No cause can ever justify the loss of innocent lives. To the grieving families, your pain is indescribable. Please understand you are not alone. The entire nation stands with you in mourning. Let us embrace one another a bit tighter and maintain the hope that peace will ultimately triumph, even in the midst of darkness. ”
Kamal Haasan also expressed his opinions on X, stating, “I firmly denounce the vile terrorist attack in Pahalgam. My sympathies are with the families who have lost their loved ones, and I wish fortitude and healing to the injured. India remains united — in sorrow, in determination, and in our dedication to maintain law, order, and national security. ”
Farhan Akhtar, who moderated the screening of Ground Zero in Srinagar earlier this week, denounced the attack on social media. He posted on Instagram, “Profoundly shocked and appalled by the savage terrorist attack in Pahalgam. This mindless act of violence against innocent lives is entirely unjustifiable and should be denounced in the strongest terms possible. My sincere sympathies go out to the families of those who perished and I stand in solidarity with the residents of Kashmir during this sorrowful moment. ”
Pahalgam terror attack: 26 tourists killed
At least twenty-six individuals, primarily civilians, were reportedly shot by terrorists in the assault that occurred on Tuesday afternoon near Pahalgam. Meanwhile, 20 others sustained injuries. The event took place around 3 pm when terrorists descended from the mountain in Baisaran valley and began shooting at tourists who frequent the location, which is often referred to as 'mini Switzerland' due to its expansive, verdant meadows. Following the Pahalgam terror attack, Prime Minister Narendra Modi abbreviated his state visit to Saudi Arabia and chose to return to India. Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah characterized the terror attack as "much larger than anything we’ve witnessed aimed at civilians in recent years. "
