In the middle of rising military tensions between India and Pakistan, television actor Rupali Ganguly has ignited a fiery conversation with her explosive social media post. The Anupamaa star took to X (formerly Twitter) to deliver a stark message to Prime Minister Narendra Modi:
“ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. Modiji, Destroy Them Completely.”
Her call to action came on the heels of the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, that left 27 people dead, including several Hindu and Christian tourists, and more than 20 injured. The group claiming responsibility, The Resistance Front (TRF), is widely believed to be an affiliate of Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba. Ganguly’s tweet rapidly went viral, drawing both praise and concern.
“It’s Easy to Comment From the Comfort of Your Living Room”: Adhvik Mahajan Offers a Reality Check
While many netizens lauded Rupali for her bold stand, not everyone in the entertainment industry is clapping along. Adhvik Mahajan, known for his work in various Hindi television dramas, offered a sharply contrasting perspective, rooted in the lived experiences of civilians in conflict zones.
Sharing a post by a news portal highlighting Rupali’s tweet, Mahajan responded with a lengthy message, stating:
“Though I understand the overflowing passion of few artists & social media influencers trying to motivate the government & public to go all out in war… But trust me, it’s really easy to make comments when you are not staying around these border areas with your family!”
He went on to urge empathy for those affected on the ground, adding:
“Ask those kids, elders & many young who are having sleepless nights in blackouts, sirens & lit-up skies — not with Diwali crackers but real explosions! Armed Forces know their job well! JAI HIND.”
Context: “Operation Sindoor” and the Escalating Crisis
This digital skirmish between TV stars comes against the backdrop of a full-blown geopolitical crisis. Following the Pahalgam attack, India launched “Operation Sindoor” on May 7, which included missile strikes on nine targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir. India claims these locations — including Bahawalpur and Muridke — are hotbeds of Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba operations.
Pakistan, in turn, reported 31 civilian deaths and 46 injuries, asserting that India struck civilian infrastructure, including mosques and schools. In retaliation, Pakistan launched drone and missile attacks on Indian cities such as Amritsar, though Indian officials say most were intercepted by the S-400 missile defence system.
India’s subsequent response included further operations against Pakistani air defence systems in Lahore, with both countries now seeing civilian and military casualties mount, drawing international concern and calls for diplomacy.
