MUMBAI: A day after 132 children were brutally killed in a gruesome Taliban attack on a school in Pakistan's Peshawar city, Bollywood celebrities like Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan are still in shock and feel "anger" and "disgust" for the "monstrous" act.
Here’s what the stars shared about the act on digital platforms:
I send out a prayer. pls God..in whichever form and whatever name.Pls teach your children to value human life.I pray for peace. #Peshawar

Koi sagar dil ko behlata nahi, bekhudi mai bhi qarar aata nahi. Today the world is so sad. Those children deserved a long & happy life. #SAD

The soul is healed by being with children. Extreme anger & disgust for all those who took our children, our future, our healers away.

tragic days as always wake us from deep sleep its not the time to shut my mouth its going to be loud
Good to see that indian are also mourning with us THANKU
@lionheart: To be honest your comment negates any condolence from your end (you individually not India as a whole), because anyone who can say 'we have reason to rejoice innocent children being murdered'. is not being sympathetic. Your sentiments are evil and vindictive.
To all Indian friends....a heart felt thanks to all of you for standing beside us in this moment of inconceivable tragedy. We pakistanis really appreciate it! :) above everything, humanity comes first! :)
I am going for 2 minutes bof mourning and silence here. Who can kill children and imran wants to negotiate with them. It is a disaster for Pakistan. I was anti nawaz and and pro pro imran, but nawaz is the bet bet for neighbours. Let him do dharnas and the souls of the kid will haunt him.governance is what is wanted. Learn from us Indians.more people will get killed and I predict it is a shame.innocent children get killed and being an Indian we are secular. When I speak, I speak for all secularists. These were children and I have my own.they are shaheeds, "watan par jaan Dey hai qadar Karo unki" I want general raheel to catch them and no catch points here. My son studies in saint xaviers Calcutta city so I know the pain.politics apart we are still brothers and I am from gujranwala and it hurts to see my brothers suffer. Rab rakaha sat Sri akal
And as always we turn every discussion on every forum into an India Pakistan war
@lionheart:
"behave like better humans. Which is what we are."
Only in 1984 and 2002: Thousands of innocents gang raped, hacked, massacred, and burned alive. Tens of thousands severely injured. Hundreds of thousands homes, properties, and businesses set on fire, and similar number of people were made homeless. And all that happened in the most civilized country of the most civilized people on earth, India.
@lionheart: What makes you think people in Pakistan rejoiced on 26/11?? It was a sad event and if you back and read the posts this is what Pakistanis said at that time. Lunatics are in every society and the quicker you admit it the better it is. Peace
It's really very sad and painful what has happened to so many innocent children. May their soul rest in peace and may God give all strength to the bereaved families and friends.
@lionheart: Behave like better humans? By using the word "better" you're comparing Indians to Pakistanis all over again. You dare say that you have enough reason to rejoice this moment? Well if I recall correctly, Pakistanis were not exactly rejoicing either after what happened in Bombay. Please, you're being ignorant. Anyway, thanks to the Indian people for helping us in this difficult time.
It should be noted that Indian schools and parliament also observed 2 minute silence to the departed souls
Thank you Indians, it shows that the Indians strongly believe in the religion of Humanity.
I am glad to see Indians mourn with Pakistan. They do have enough reasons to rejoice this moment after what happened on 26/11. But we choose rise above and behave like better humans. Which is what we are.
