Hina Khan condemned the Pahalgam terror attack and made a plea for national unity. She also addressed her identity as a Muslim and Kashmiri, stating that the attackers do not represent her faith.
Actor Hina Khan has voiced her deep anguish and sorrow over the recent terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, which claimed the lives of 26 civilians. In a note shared on Instagram, Hina condemned the brutal act and made an impassioned plea for national unity. She also addressed her identity as a Muslim and Kashmiri, stating that the attackers do not represent her faith.
Hina Khan says the attack has affected her mental health
In her message, Hina expressed how the tragic incident left her mentally disturbed and heartbroken. “Condolences. Dark Day. Teary Eyes. Condemnation, Calls of Compassion. Nothing means anything if we fail to accept the reality. If we don't accept what really happened, especially as Muslims, everything else is just talk. Simple talk.. A couple of tweets and that's it," she wrote.
Hina apologises to fellow Hindus and Indians
She called the perpetrators “heartless, inhuman, brainwashed terrorists,” and said, “I can't imagine if a Muslim was forced to revoke his religion at gunpoint and was killed anyway. It breaks my heart. And as a Muslim, I want to apologise to all my fellow Hindus and my fellow Indians. People who lost their lives… Heartbroken as an Indian. Heartbroken as a Muslim. I can't get over what happened in Pahalgam.”
Hina stated that she stands by the country and its armed forces in their resolve to bring justice. “It has affected me and my mental health.. But it's not about me, and it's not my pain. It's the pain of everyone who lost their loved ones… I condemn it. I reject it. And I hate those who did it. Wholeheartedly, absolutely, unconditionally,” she added.
"Don't alienate Muslims"
She urged people not to generalise or alienate Muslims based on the actions of extremists. “Those who did this can follow any religion. They are not human beings for me. As embarrassed as I am for the act of some Muslims… I pray to my fellow Indians to not alienate all of us… If we end up fighting each other. We would be doing what they want us to do, to divide us.”

Hina also addressed fellow Kashmiris, encouraging them to foster peace and communal harmony. “I ask my fellow Kashmiris to extend this spirit and bring back our brothers and sisters from the Kashmiri Pandit community… Now it's time we Kashmiris bring back our Kashmir where a Kashmiri pandit lived like a family with their fellow Kashmiri Muslims.. I believe in coexistence, period.”
She ended her message with a strong call for justice. “Lastly, I want justice as an Indian, as a Muslim and as a human being. We all must come together and support India in these testing times. Let's not give them what they want… No politics. No divisions. No hate. No matter what. We are Indians first. Jai Hind.”
