Former Bollywood star Anu Aggarwal has shared a powerful message of peace and solidarity following the recent terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir. The actress, who rose to fame with the 1990 musical blockbuster ‘Aashiqui’, took to Instagram to condemn violence and spread a message of love.
In her post from Pahalgam, Kashmir, Aggarwal wrote, “In raising hatred you burn yourself first and spread the fire around later. Raise love in yourself not hatred.” She noted that this line was from her iconic film ‘Aashiqui’ and expressed that it’s what she wants to tell “all terrorists today.”
The image accompanying her post shows the actress in what appears to be a winter setting in Pahalgam, Kashmir. Her message comes in the wake of a terrorist attack in the region, as indicated by the hashtags she used: #terroristattack and #jammuandkashmir.
The Voice Of Compassion
Aggarwal’s post extends beyond condemning violence. She also expressed support for those affected by the attack, writing, “While I send support and love to all those suffering.” The actress included the message in Hindi as well, reaching out to a broader audience with her call for peace.
The former actress, who was once among Bollywood’s most promising stars before a near-fatal accident changed her life path, has in recent years been vocal about social issues and personal growth through her social media presence.
For those unfamiliar with Anu Aggarwal’s journey, she shot to fame with ‘Aashiqui’ in 1990, becoming an overnight sensation. She worked in several films including ‘King Uncle’ and ‘Khal-Naaikaa’ before a serious car accident in 1999 left her in a coma for 29 days.
After recovering from the accident, Aggarwal took a different life path, focusing on yoga, meditation, and spiritual practices. She established the Anu Aggarwal Foundation, which works on various social causes.
Consistent Voice For Positivity
A look at Aggarwal’s recent Instagram activity shows her consistent focus on promoting inner peace, self-love, and mindfulness. Just days before her post about the terrorist attack, she shared insights about meditation practices and their benefits.
In one recent post, she wrote about a weekend devoted to meditation, noting, “End of first day I feel more positive, lighter, more beautiful. A clear mind is a boon, happiness follows.” This approach to finding inner peace appears to be central to her current philosophy, which she’s now applying to broader social issues like terrorism and violence.
In another post, she shared a meditation technique: “Think a smile but don’t show it. Let each little cell in your body smile. Start with 5 minutes. Finally, when you actually smile it will be beautiful.”
Advocating For Personal Transformation
Aggarwal’s message about terrorism reflects her broader belief that personal transformation is key to societal change. Her recent posts frequently emphasize the power of self-love and inner peace as foundations for external harmony.
“There is no limit to who you can be,” she wrote in another recent post, encouraging followers to believe in themselves and embrace their authentic selves.
The former actress’s transition from a Bollywood star to a voice for meditation and peace offers an interesting perspective on her response to the terrorist attack. Rather than simply condemning violence, she offers an alternative path forward – one centered on love rather than hatred.
For Anu Aggarwal, the answer to violence appears to lie in the message she once delivered through her breakout film – that hatred burns the one who harbors it before it harms others, making love the more powerful and healing choice.
