The Pahalgam terror attack, which took place on Tuesday (April 22) afternoon, has shaken the entire nation to its core. Amid this, Bollywood veteran actor Suniel Shetty gave a strong message to the people and urged everyone to stay united as Indians. He stated that people should stay fearless and strong so that they can show that Kashmir was, is and will always be for the Indians. Shetty also urged people to plan a holiday in the valleys and nowhere else. He stated that the main motive is to show the terrorists that Indians are not scared and there is no fear.
While speaking with the media at the sidelines of the Lata Deenanath Mageshkar Award 2025 ceremony, Suniel Shetty said “For us, service to humanity is service to God. The Almighty will see everything and respond. Right now, we need to stay united as Indians. We must not fall into the trap of those who are trying to spread fear and hatred, but stay united. Unko dikhana hai ki Kashmir humara tha, humara hai, aur humesha humara hi rahega (We need to show them that Kashmir was ours, is ours, and will always remain ours). That’s why the army, the leaders, and everyone are involved in this effort.”
He continued, “Humein nagrik ki taraf se ek hi karna hai, humein yeh decide karna hah ki aaj se agli chutti jo humaari hogi, woh Kashmir mein hi hogi aur kahi nahi hogi. Unko yeh dikhana hai ki humein darr nahi hai, aur vakayi mein darr hai nahi (As a citizen, we have to do one thing. We have to decide that our next holiday will be in Kashmir and nowhere else. We have to show them that we are not scared and actually there is no fear).”
The actor mentioned that he called the travel authorities in Kashmir and stated that he is ready visit there as a tourist. He added, “Maine khud saamne se phone kar ke bola hai ki agar kal aapko lagta hai ki humein wahan aana hain, tourist ke haisiyat se ya artist ki haisiyat se hume wahan shooting karna hai ya ghoomne jaana hai, hum zaroor aayenge. Jo Kashmiri bacche hai, unme unki koi ghalti nahi hai (I called them and said that if you want us to come there as tourists or as artists for shooting, we will definitely come).”
