Prominent Pakistani actors, including Fawad Khan, Hania Aamir, and Mahira Khan, have publicly condemned India’s recent military operation, Operation Sindoor, which targeted terrorist camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). The operation, executed by the Indian Armed Forces on the night of May 6, 2025, was a retaliatory strike following the deadly Pahalgam terror attack on April 22, 2025, that claimed 26 lives, mostly tourists. The Indian government described the strikes as “measured, precise, and non-escalatory,” aimed at dismantling terror infrastructure. However, the Pakistani celebrities have labeled the operation as “cowardly” and “shameful.”
Operation Sindoor: Fawad Khan, Hania Aamir, and other Pakistani actors slam India’s military strikes, call it “cowardly”
Fawad Khan, a well-known actor with a significant fan base in India due to his roles in Bollywood films like Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, took to his Instagram Stories to express his outrage. “Stop stoking the flames of hatred,” Khan wrote, calling Operation Sindoor a “shameful attack” and urging for peace between the two nations. His statement came amidst heightened tensions, as his upcoming Indo-Pak collaboration film Abir Gulaal, co-starring Vaani Kapoor, faces boycott calls and an indefinite postponement of its May 9 release in India.
Similarly, Mahira Khan, another prominent Pakistani actress known for her role opposite Shah Rukh Khan in Raees, reposted a tweet by writer Fatima Bhutto criticizing the strikes. On her Instagram Stories, Mahira added, “Seriously cowardly!!! May Allah protect our country, may better sense prevail. Ameen.” Hania Aamir, a popular Pakistani actress, echoed these sentiments with a succinct one-word post on her Instagram Stories: “Cowardly.” Aamir’s account, along with those of Mahira Khan and other Pakistani stars, has been geo-blocked in India following the Pahalgam attack.
The backlash from Pakistani celebrities follows India’s confirmation that Operation Sindoor successfully struck nine terror targets, including four in Pakistan (Bahawalpur, Muridke, Sialkot, and Faisalabad) and five in PoK (Kotli, Muzaffarabad, and others). The operation, which resulted in the deaths of at least 17 terrorists and injuries to 60 others, was praised by Indian officials and Bollywood celebrities as a decisive response to the Pahalgam attack.
However, Pakistani stars have framed the operation as an act of aggression. Mawra Hocane, known for her role in Sanam Teri Kasam, also condemned the strikes on X, writing, “Strongly condemn India’s cowardly attack on Pakistan.. Innocent civilians have lost their lives.. May Allah protect us all.. #PakistanZindabad.”
