'And now there's only grief': Emotional Alia Bhatt wonders how we can even ask Pahalgam victims to find strength

Alia Bhatt is heartbroken over the tragic news of a terror incident in Pahalgam, Jammu & Kashmir, on April 22 that killed 26 people and injured many. The actor shared his condolences on social media, wishing for peace and strength for the impacted families.

On Wednesday, Alia rushed to Instagram and posted a lengthy, emotional message that began, "The news from Pahalgam is sad. Innocent lives were lost. Tourists, families, and folks who were simply living. Seeking beauty. Seeking tranquility. And now there is only grief. And the crushing weight of it. Every time something like this happens, it weakens our collective humanity. May those spirits rest peacefully. And may those left behind find strength in some way, though I'm not sure how we can even begin to expect that of them.

Several celebrities from the film business spoke out against the attack. Kareena Kapoor Khan said on her Instagram stories, "Beyond heartbroken for the victims and their families." "Praying for the lives lost." Meanwhile, Anushka Sharma expressed her sincere sympathies on Instagram, writing, "Heartbroken to hear about the cold-blooded terror attack on innocent people in Pahalgam, Kashmir." My heartfelt wishes and condolences to their families. "This is a heinous attack that will not be forgotten."
