Srinagar, April 27: In the wake of the tragic terror attack in Pahalgam, actor Atul Kulkarni made a heartfelt visit to Kashmir, encouraging fellow citizens to stand with the region and support its people.
The Bandish Bandits star documented his journey from Mumbai to Srinagar on Instagram, sharing a series of photos that captured the experience. His posts included images of nearly empty airplane seats, his boarding pass, and a handwritten note from the flight crew—signs of the tourism lull following recent events.
"Mumbai to Srinagar. The crew says they were running full. We need to fill them up again. Chaliye ji, Kashmir chalein," he wrote, calling on people to return to the valley.
Kulkarni also posted a striking image from Pahalgam—usually teeming with tourists—that now appeared nearly deserted. Alongside this, he showcased Kashmir’s breathtaking natural beauty, from its clear blue skies to serene rivers and lush green landscapes.
In a powerful gesture of solidarity, he shared photos of local Kashmiris holding placards reading “We condemn this attack” and others proudly waving the Indian flag.
To conclude his tribute, the actor shared an image of a heartfelt Hindi poem, accompanied by hashtags such as #ChaloKashmir, #Feet_in_Kashmir, #Kashmiriyat, #Love_Compassion, and #DefeatTerror, spreading a message of unity, peace, and resilience.
