In the wake of the devastating terror attack in Kashmir’s Pahalgam, Shah Rukh Khan has come forward with a powerful message that echoes the grief and fury felt across the nation. Taking to his official X (formerly Twitter) handle on Wednesday, SRK shared his anguish over the brutal violence that claimed the lives of innocent tourists.
His message was one of sorrow, solidarity, and hope for justice. “Words fail to express the sadness and anger at the treachery and inhumane act of violence that has occurred in Pahalgam. In times like these, one can only turn to God and say a prayer for the families that suffered and express my deepest condolences. May we as a Nation, stand united, strong and get justice against this heinous act,” he wrote.
The horror unfolded on Tuesday afternoon when gunmen believed to be affiliated with Lashkar-e-Taiba launched a surprise assault on a group of tourists in the serene Baisaran Meadows of Pahalgam. Dressed in military fatigues, the attackers opened fire indiscriminately, killing around 27 people. Witnesses described a scene of chaos and disbelief as the unsuspecting tourists, many on horseback, were targeted in what is being called one of the deadliest attacks in the region in recent years.
The Resistance Front (TRF), a shadow group linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba, has since claimed responsibility for the carnage — a revelation that has deepened public outrage and sparked renewed calls for action and accountability.
As the country grapples with the aftermath of this senseless violence, voices like Shah Rukh Khan’s remind us that grief must be met with unity, and loss must be met with resilience. In a time when emotions are raw and wounds are fresh, his words carry a solemn reminder of the strength that can emerge when a nation stands together.
