On April 22, India was left in shock and mourning when terrorists targeted innocent tourists in Pahalgam, South Kashmir. Around 27 to 28 victims, many of whom were on vacation or celebrating their honeymoons, were asked about their religion before being shot. This appalling act drew widespread condemnation, with many Indian and Pakistani actors expressing their condolences on social media for the families affected. In a powerful display of solidarity, actor Atul Kulkarni traveled to Pahalgam just days after the tragedy to deliver a poignant message to the attackers—one that could not have been conveyed from Mumbai.
In a video which has taken the internet by storm, ANI quoted Atul Kulkarni saying, “The incident that took place on 22nd April has made the entire country sad...I read that 90% of bookings have been cancelled here. The message that the terrorists are giving is not to come to Kashmir. This is not going to happen. This is our Kashmir, our country, and we will come here. This is the answer we should give to the ideology of terrorists. I could not give this message staying in Mumbai, so I came here. If I can come, then the rest of the country can also come here...We should come here and not get scared…”
Lauding the action taken by Atul, a netizen wrote, “In a way, he is right about it, and security will be on high alert right now, but it’s natural for the public to be scared of the place for some time until the government shows some action. Empty words and a candle vigil are not going to calm scared nerves.” Agreeing, another internet user tweeted: “I agree, we as citizens of Bharat shouldn't boycott our land. We can track terrorists, our agencies today have published the names of OGW. Kashmir is our land, do not encourage people to boycott 🙏🇮🇳🫡.”
