It is imperative to observe that every voice carries weight. Many naive souls use social media platforms to spew hatred. In testing times like these, a voice of sanity is but essential to curb aggression.

Many celebrities cognizant of the need for peace have been using social media to promote cordial ties between the two states. Here are a few who believe peace is the answer to everything.

"India and Pakistan are like brothers, the worse reactions come out when two brothers fight," filmmaker Jami Moor says.



Being a voice of reason often comes with hefty price tag for celebrities. We celebrate those who break barriers and rise against what is simply convenient.
