'Seriously cowardly, petty neighbour': Celebrities condemn India's attack
As news of India's recent strikes on Pakistan last night spread across the country, reactions from celebrities across the country have begun to surface, with all expressing condemnation of the attack and solidarity with the nation.
Prominent Pakistani actors like Mahira Khan and Hania Amir have taken to social media, expressing strong condemnation of India's actions, describing them as "cowardly".
Hania wrote to her Instagram Story: "I don't have fancy words right now. I just have anger, pain, and a heavy heart. A child is gone. Families are shattered. And for what? This is not how you protect anyone. This is cruelty - plain and simple.
"You don't get to bomb innocent people and call it strategy. This isn't strength. This is shameful. This is cowardly. And we see you."
Mahira took to her Instagram Story to write: "Seriously cowardly!!! May Allah protect our country, may better sense prevail. Ameen"

"You attack cities, in the middle of the night and call it a victory? Shame on you," Mahira wrote in a separate post on Instagram.
Urwa Hocane and her sister, Mawra, also strongly condemned the attack.
In a post on Instagram Story, Urwa wrote: "We are not fighting a war enemy at the moment! We are fighting a petty neighbour with an small ego centric mindset that wants to prove fake propaganda point of view for a mere political campaign coming up!"

Meanwhile, actor Ayeza Khan shared an old video of Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah giving a speech in which he declared that every citizen of Pakistan, irrespective of their religion, is free to worship in their own places of worship.
"You are all free to go to your temples, you are all free to go to your mosques, and to go to any other place of worship, no matter what religion you belong to in this country of Pakistan...," the founder of Pakistan said in the video as he gave a speech.
Ayeza captioned the post: "Pakistan Zindabad. We have shown great strength bravely, calmly, and unitedly in this current situation. May Allah bless humanity, and may peace prevail above all".

This strong condemnation comes after India launched 24 attacks on six sites in Pakistan earlier on Wednesday — all targets hit were civilian, with most being mosques — with Indian munitions also causing damage to the surrounding residential structures.
The targeted sites included Kotli, Bahawalpur, Muridke, Bagh and Muzaffarabad. The attack on civilians left eight Pakistanis martyred and 35 injured.
According to Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director-General Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, Pakistan gave a timely and befitting response to Indian aggression in the dark and destroyed Indian Air Force (IAF) jets, including three French-made Rafales, one Su30MKI and one MIG-29 Fulcrum.

The Pakistan Armed Forces destroyed the Indian brigade headquarters and a checkpost along the Line of Control (LoC), with the DG ISPR confirming that all Pakistan Air Force jets are safe after engaging Indian jets.
Veteran actor Fawad Khan also sent condolences to the families of those martyred and injured in this shameful attack.
"My deepest condolences to the families of those injured and killed in this shameful attack," Fawad wrote on his Instagram Story. "I pray for the souls of the deceased and strength for their loved ones in the days to come."
"A respectful request to all: stop stoking the flames with ramble-rousing words. It is not worth the lives of innocent people. May better sense prevail," he added.
