‘Shameful’: Pakistani celebs slam Indian attacks
As tensions escalate between India and Pakistan following cowardly missile attacks on Bahawalpur, Muzaffarabad, Kotli, and Muridke, prominent Pakistani celebrities are raising their voices through their Instagram stories, mourning the loss of innocent lives and calling for peace.
Superstar Fawad Khan extended his condolences and urged the public to avoid hate-driven narratives.
He wrote on his Instagram story, "My deepest condolences to the families of those injured and killed in this shameful attack. I pray for the souls of the deceased and strength for their loved ones in the days to come.
A respectful request to all: stop stoking the flames with rabble-rousing words. It is not worth the lives of innocent people. May better sense prevail. InshaAllah. Pakistan Zindabad!”
Bilal Abbas Khan strongly condemned the attack and stood in solidarity with the nation.
“What India has done today is nothing short of a disgraceful and cowardly act. Attacking innocent civilians, taking innocent lives — this is a crime against humanity and cannot be justified or ignored.
My heart aches for every Pakistani family that has lost a loved one today. We will not forget this brutality, and we will not stay silent in the face of such injustice. I pray for the souls we have lost, for the safety of our people, and for the future of Pakistan a future where such senseless violence has no place. Today, we stand united, stronger and prouder than ever!!”
Hania Aamir responded emotionally to a post circulating on X, calling out the cruelty of celebrating a child’s death.
She posted on her Instagram story, “I don't have fancy words right now. I just have anger, pain, and a heavy heart. A child is gone. Families are shattered. And for what? This is not how you protect anyone. This is cruelty plain and simple. You don't get to bomb innocent people and call it strategy. This isn't strength. This is shameful. This is cowardly. And we see you.”
Kubra Khan expressed collective anxiety and reminded followers to avoid misinformation while encouraging prayer.
On her story, she wrote, “I don't think anyone is sleeping tonight. There is no joy in innocent lives being taken. No matter where they are. Sadly I see celebrations over a child's death. This breaks my heart. I pray for safety for all of us. Sending strength to our soldiers fighting to protect us. After Allah, we are counting on you and we are proud of you. Thank you.

Stay at home, it's a war not a show.
Let's avoid spreading false news and hold off meme-ing.
It's time for prayers now. May Allah protect us all. Pakistan Zindabad.”**
Urwa Hocane called out the attacks as politically motivated propaganda.
She wrote in her Instagram story, “We are not fighting a war enemy at the moment! We are fighting a petty neighbor with a small egocentric mindset that wants to prove a fake propaganda point of view for a mere political campaign coming up! Disgusting and Screw you, because PAKISTAN ZINDABAD & PAK ARMY Paindabad!”
Mahira Khan kept her message brief but firm.
On her Instagram story, she wrote, “Seriously cowardly!!! May Allah protect our country, may better sense prevail. Ameen.”
Usama Khan advocated for peace but warned against provocation.
He shared on his story,“War can never be an option. We've tried every possible way. We requested a neutral inquiry. We condemn the terror attack. We've done every possible thing to stop this. But if you impose war on us, then we are not afraid. #Pakistanzindabad Dear India, please stop this. You need to tell this to Modi. #PakistanUnderAttack”
Aiman Khan offered prayers and reminded both sides of the human cost of conflict.
She wrote on her Instagram story, “Praying for my motherland. Pakistan Zindabad! May Allah keep my country and its people safe. Ameen.”
She also added, “No child should sleep to the sound of fighter jets. No mother should worry about what tomorrow will bring for her family. To both sides: human life is not a game. As a daughter of this soil, I stand for my country and I pray for peace. #NoToWar #IStandForPeace #Pakistan”
