Following the attack, actress Vaani Kapoor who is all set to be seen in the upcoming film Abir Gulaab, took to Instagram to express her grief and offer condolences.

Have been numb, at a loss of words since the time I have seen the attack on innocent people in Pahalgam. Gutted. Devastated. My prayers are with the families

- Vaani Kapoor

Her statement comes amidst growing criticism and boycott calls surrounding her upcoming film "Abir Gulaal."

Vaani Kapoor's upcoming film, "Abir Gulaal," starring Pakistani actor Fawad Khan, has become embroiled in controversy due to the strained political climate between India and Pakistan. The film has faced numerous hurdles, including opposition from the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS), which had threatened to prevent its release in the state due to the involvement of a Pakistani actor.

Following the recent terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu & Kashmir, social media users have intensified their criticism of Kapoor for continuing to promote the film. Many have called for a boycott of "Abir Gulaal," citing the sensitive geopolitical situation.

The controversy surrounding "Abir Gulaal" has now extended to Kapoor's other projects. Several social media users have initiated a call for a boycott of her upcoming film, "Raid 2," which stars Ajay Devgn and is slated for release on May 1st.

Fawad Khan, who gained widespread popularity in India through films like "Kapoor & Sons" and "Ae Dil Hai Mushkil," has not appeared in a Bollywood film for several years due to escalating tensions between the two nations.
