Following India’s recent airstrikes on Pakistan, reactions from celebrities have flooded social media, emphasising condemnation of the attack and support for their nation.
Notable Pakistani actors, including Mahira Khan and Hania Amir, have voiced their outrage, labelling the attacks as “cowardly” and urging unity.
Hania wrote to her Instagram Story: “I don’t have fancy words right now. I just have anger, pain, and a heavy heart. A child is gone. Families are shattered. And for what? This is not how you protect anyone. This is cruelty – plain and simple.
“You don’t get to bomb innocent people and call it strategy. This isn’t strength. This is shameful. This is cowardly. And we see you.”Mahira took to her Instagram Story to write: “Seriously cowardly!!! May Allah protect our country, may better sense prevail. Ameen”
“You attack cities, in the middle of the night and call it a victory? Shame on you,” Mahira wrote in a separate post on Instagram.Urwa Hocane and her sister, Mawra, also strongly condemned the attack.
In a post on Instagram Story, Urwa wrote: “We are not fighting a war enemy at the moment! We are fighting a petty neighbour with an small ego centric mindset that wants to prove fake propaganda point of view for a mere political campaign coming up!”
Meanwhile, actor Ayeza Khan shared an old video of Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah giving a speech in which he declared that every citizen of Pakistan, irrespective of their religion, is free to worship in their own places of worship.
