The actress took to her Instagram Stories to respond to the situation and expressed her feelings in an emotional message. She wrote, “Have been numb, at a loss of words since the time I have seen the attack on innocent people in Pahalgam. Gutted. Devastated. My prayers are with the families. ”

Her statement comes amid growing criticism and boycott calls surrounding her upcoming film Abir Gulaal.

Abir Gulaal faces boycott calls

In the aftermath of the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Vaani’s film has come under scrutiny in the online sphere, with widespread demands for a boycott. Users on social media are voicing their outrage over Indian artists partnering with Pakistani talent during these tumultuous times. Directed by Aarti S Bagdi, Abir Gulaal is set to premiere on May 9.

In light of rising tensions, Ashoke Pandit, President of the Indian Film and Television Directors' Association, expressed strong disapproval of the film's debut. He stated, “This incident is an act of war against the nation. This isn’t the first time. . . these attacks have been happening for 30 years. We, as a federation, have pleaded with folded hands to avoid working with Pakistanis. They come up with nonsense excuses like artist, community, but ultimately, the nation must come first. People think ‘if someone in my house isn’t harmed, then I don’t care’, but if this film’s heroine or creators’ family members had been killed by the terrorist, they wouldn’t have collaborated (with Fawad). ”

BN Tiwari, President of the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE), also took a strong position: “We will not permit Abir Gulaal to release in India. Consequences will be enforced against the creators (if they release the film). ”
