Pakistani actors like Fawad Khan, Hania Aamir and Mahira Khan are facing the internet's wrath for condemning the Operation Sindoor carried out by the Indian Armed Forces as a retaliation to the barbaric terrorist attack in Pahalgam on April 22, which claimed the lives of 26 innocent tourists. In a joint mission, the Indian Army and Indian Air Force razed terrorist camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK) in the intervening night of May 6 and May 7. Over 100 terrorists were neutralised in the brave and valour operation, which avenged the deaths of innocent tourists in Pahalgam. While the whole nation is cheering Operation Sindoor and the Indian government for their ‘no tolerance’ on terrorism approach, Pakistani celebrities have taken to their Instagram accounts to oppose it, following which they received severe backlash.

Shameless: Netizens slam brazen Pakistani actors for ‘supporting terrorism' 

The Instagram accounts of all Pakistani artists and actors were banned in India on April 30 as a strong measure against the Pahalgam attack. However, screenshots of their social media posts were shared by NRIs who are now trolling Hania Aamir, Mahira Khan and Fawad Khan for calling Operation Sindoor ‘cowardly’. Actor Fawad Khan, who has worked in Bollywood movies like Kapoor & Sons, Ae Dil Hai Mushkil and Abir Gulaal wrote, “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. (sic)"

Raees actress Mahira Khan shared a brazen post by Fatima Bhutto and wrote, “Seriously cowardly!!! May Allah protect our country, may better sense prevail. Ameen,” and added, “You attack cities, in the middle of the night and call it a victory? Shame on you.”
