Veteran actor Kay Kay Menon has publicly condemned the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir, expressing his outrage and grief on Instagram with the hashtag “#PahalgamTerroristAttack”. He posted “UNACCEPTABLE!!” and an angry emoji.
This emotional response from Menon, a respected voice in Indian cinema, comes in the wake of one of the deadliest attacks in the region in recent years, drawing national and international attention to the ongoing security crisis in Jammu and Kashmir.
The Pahalgam Attack: What Happened?
On April 22, 2025, militants opened fire on tourists at Baisaran meadow near Pahalgam, Kashmir, killing at least 26 people—including Indian and foreign nationals—and injuring many more. The Resistance Front, linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba, claimed responsibility for the attack, which targeted civilians in one of the region’s most popular tourist spots. Eyewitnesses described scenes of chaos and panic as gunmen shot at close range, with locals risking their lives to help the injured.
Industry And Public Responses
Menon’s post reflects a broader sentiment within the Indian film industry, where several celebrities have used their platforms to denounce terrorism and express solidarity with the victims.
Menon’s statement is part of a larger wave of public outrage. Prime Minister Narendra Modi cut short an overseas visit to return to Delhi, vowing that those responsible would be brought to justice. The attack has also drawn condemnation from global leaders, including US President Donald Trump, highlighting the international ramifications of such violence.
Menon continues to be a significant figure in Indian cinema, using his influence to highlight critical issues and foster national solidarity. Menon’s condemnation of the Pahalgam terrorist attack underscores the power of public figures in shaping discourse around national tragedies.
