Ayeza Khan did not post any statement, however, she posted only a broken heart emoji. Mawra Hocane, who appeared in the Bollywood film ‘Sanam Teri Kasam,’ also offered her condolences. She didn’t shy away from expressing her disgust towards the attack and its impact on the victims’ families. She wrote, “My deepest condolences to the affected families… An act of terrorism against one is terrorism against all… What’s happening to the world?”
Singer and actor Farhan Saeed said, “Condolences to the victims’ families.” These actors are receiving flak from the Pakistani fans and netizens for not speaking up for the victims of the Jaffer Express attack in Balochistan. Netizens pointed out that while Indian netizens, media, and government are accusing Pakistan of the terrorist attack in Pahalgam and threatening an attack on the country, they are busy appealing to their Indian followers instead of defending their country.
