April 23, 2025 | Jammu & Kashmir — Actor and Kashmiri native Sidhant Gupta marked his birthday with sorrow following a devastating militant attack in Baisaran Valley near Pahalgam. The April 22 assault left 28 people dead and over 20 injured, shaking the nation.
“Not a Happy Birthday”
Gupta, known for his deep ties to Kashmir, took to Instagram Stories late last night to share his grief.
“Thank you for the wishes. But it’s not a happy birthday,” he wrote.
“Another attack in my native state. Just as tourism flourishes, terror strikes again.”
Condemns Violence Against Civilians
The actor called the attack a “cowardly act”, criticizing the use of religion to justify such brutality.
“Using weapons on civilians is not power. It’s savagery in disguise,” he said.
Calls for Courage and Unity
Gupta urged citizens to stand strong and not let fear define their future.
“We’re in a fight against fear. I trust our government to act decisively and protect the freedom to live without fear in Kashmir.”
A Region in Mourning
The Baisaran Valley, once a growing tourist haven, now mourns another tragedy. As the nation reels, social media floods with #KashmirBleeds and #JusticeForKashmir.
A Personal Plea from a Native Son
For Sidhant, this is not just news—it’s home. His message cuts through politics and speaks to the pain of every Kashmiri longing for peace.
