Noida: Pahalgam terror attack victim Shubham Dwivedi's wife Aishanya recalled the ill-fated day when her husband was shot dead by terrorists and shared her ordeal what went down with them and other tourists who became the victim of the terror attack.

Speaking to Republic Media Network exclusively during Nationalist Collective conclave on April 5 Second Conversation With Terrorist, Aishanya recalled how the terrorists approached them and killed her husband.

She said the terrorists approached them. It was a five-second exchange, they asked, 'Hindu or Muslim?' Her husband responded with a smile, 'Hindu,' and before he could finish the sentence, they shot him dead.

Aishanya further said that she didn't think anyone and all those who were there and have lost their husbands and family members can ever forget what terrorists did to them adding those 26 people shouldn't have died like this.

When asked can you ever forget what terrorists did to them, Aishanya said, “How can you forget the terror that your husband was shot dead in front of you. Anyone who has seen this can never forget.”

“The person who is being shot dead is your husband, how can you forget it,” she added.
