About Pahalgam Terror Attack

On April 22, 26 tourists were shot dead by the terrorists in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir. The group of tourists who were spending time in the valley at the popular tourist spot Baisaran in south Kashmir, which is called a 'mini Switzerland' was turned into a pool of blood. The innocent people were killed after a group of terrorists opened fire on them.

Following the hineous incident, she urged the Muslim community to speak up against such monsters. Her post on X stated, “I think it's about time the good Muslims stepped up and rejected the monsters and CALLED THEM OUT! Break ties with people and places that remain silent or deep down have ties elsewhere. Because repeatedly Terror is coming from one place. They're ruining humanity. They're ruining faith. Kashmir was flourishing and govt did so much, had so many plans in place to make it good for business. But we all know who doesn't want that. Very personal opinion but it's time to Stop being gracious to monsters in the name of humanity. Stand up for India..”

In the aftermath, netizens started calling for Abir Gulaal's boycott. Several reports also suggest that the film will not be released in India.
