Sidharth Malhotra, Raveena Tandon, Karan Johar & others express sorrow as Delhi blast shocks the nation

The blast near Delhi’s Red Fort on Monday evening has left the country rattled. What began as an ordinary rush-hour moment turned into a scene of chaos when a Hyundai i20 exploded near the traffic signal between Gates 1 and 4 of the Red Fort Metro Station. At least eight lives were lost, and many more were injured, leaving families shattered and the nation stunned. As security agencies stepped up their presence and began investigating the cause, the shock ripple spread across the country, including the entertainment industry.

Film fraternity expresses solidarity

Soon after the news broke, several actors and filmmakers reached out with messages of support and sorrow. Karan Johar shared his heartbreak for the families who lost their loved ones, reminding everyone to stay careful in such uncertain moments. Sidharth Malhotra echoed the same feeling, calling on Delhi to stay strong and united.

Raveena Tandon wrote a short, emotional note, mourning the families hit by the horrific blast. Sonu Sood urged people to stand with the victims and called for kindness and calm, while South star Vijay said he was deeply disturbed by the incident and prayed for a quick recovery for those injured. Riddhima Kapoor Sahni expressed her anguish as well, hoping the guilty are caught and punished soon.

These messages, though simple, reflect how deeply the tragedy has touched people across the country, far beyond the capital.

A tragedy that shook the capital

The explosion took place around 7 p.m., catching commuters and bystanders completely off guard. The area, usually buzzing with tourists and office-goers, quickly turned into a cordoned-off zone as emergency teams rushed in. Authorities have increased security around key public spots across Delhi, urging people to remain aware but avoid unnecessary fear. With updates still emerging, officials are asking citizens to rely on verified information and avoid forwarding rumours that may fuel panic.

As the investigation continues, the country stands together with the families who lost their own. The film industry’s collective voice of compassion mirrors what millions are feeling today: grief, concern, and a quiet hope for safer days ahead.
