On April 23, Athiya took to her Instagram story and shared a black background featuring a heartbroken emoji. She recently welcomed her baby girl, Evaarah, with her husband — cricketer KL Rahul.

The reaction came just as the whole nation is mourning the loss of around 26 individuals who were killed in the terror attack at a tourist location in India’s Jammu and Kashmir on Tuesday (April 22). The incident has been labelled as one of the worst attacks in the region.

The tragic event, which took place in Pahalgam — one of the most beautiful tourist destinations in the region — is now making headlines and drawing deep condolences from celebrities and politicians, including Anupam Kher and Akshay Kumar from the film fraternity.

In his video statement, Anupam shared, “What happened in Pahalgam today — the massacre of 27 Hindus, targeted and killed one by one — fills the heart with sorrow, but there are no limits to the rage and fury I feel. I’ve seen this happen far too many times in my life. This violence against Kashmiri Hindus in Kashmir. The Kashmir Files was just a faint glimpse of that reality, a small part of a much larger, painful truth. Yet, so many dismissed it as propaganda.”



Meanwhile, Prime Minister Modi took to his X (formerly Twitter) account to share his deep concern:
“I strongly condemn the terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir. Condolences to those who have lost their loved ones. I pray that the injured recover at the earliest. All possible assistance is being provided to those affected. Those behind this heinous act will be brought to justice... they will not be spared! Their evil agenda will never succeed. Our resolve to fight terrorism is unshakeable, and it will grow even stronger,” he wrote.
