Suniel Shetty urged unity after the Pahalgam terror attack, asserting Kashmir's belonging to India. Suniel Shetty has sent out a strong message after the deadly Pahalgam terror attack. Recently, the Bollywood actor was speaking with the media at the sidelines of the Lata Deenanath Mageshkar Award 2025 ceremony when he urged everyone to stay united.
He also made it clear that Kashmir will belong to India, as he asked everyone not to give in to fear. “For us, service to humanity is service to God. The Almighty will see everything and respond.
Right now, we need to stay united as Indians. We must not fall into the trap of those who are trying to spread fear and hatred, but stay united. Unko dikhana hai ki Kashmir humara tha, humara hai, aur humesha humara hi rahega (We need to show them that Kashmir was ours, is ours, and will always remain ours).
That’s why the army, the leaders, and everyone are involved in this effort," Shetty said, as quoted by Hindustan Times. Suniel stated that citizens should plan a vacation in Kashmir and shared, “Humein nagrik ki taraf se ek hi karna hai, humein yeh decide karna hah ki aaj se agli chutti jo humaari hogi, woh Kashmir mein hi hogi aur kahi nahi hogi. Unko yeh dikhana hai ki humein darr nahi hai, aur vakayi mein darr hai nahi (As a citizen, we have to do one thing.
We have to decide that our next holiday will be in Kashmir and nowhere else. We have to show them that we are not scared and actually there is no fear)." The actor revealed that he also spoke to the authorities in Kashmir after the attack.
“Maine khud saamne se phone kar ke bola hai ki agar kal aapko lagta hai ki humein wahan aana hain, tourist ke haisiyat se ya artist ki haisiyat se hume wahan shooting karna hai ya ghoomne jaana hai, hum zaroor aayenge. Jo Kashmiri bacche hai, unme unki koi ghalti nahi hai (I called them and said that if you want us to come there as tourists or as artists for shooting, we will definitely come)," he said. For the unversed, Lashkar-linked terrorists opened fire on a group of tourists in Pahalgam on Tuesday, April 22 afternoon.
