There is grief in our hearts: Singer Shaan sympathises with Pahalgam terror attack victims at WAVES 2025

Bollywood singer Shaan condemns the Pahalgam terror attack while attending the WAVES 2025 Summit, expressing solidarity with victims.

"There is grief in our hearts, but as Raj Kapoor said - 'The show must go on' - Shaan"

Mumbai, May 1

Bollywood singer Shaan expressed his grief over the recent terror attack at Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir, at the inaugural WAVES 2025 Summit.

The four-day summit with the tagline "Connecting Creators, Connecting Countries" will witness the presence of several Bollywood celebrities like Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, and Karan Johar among others.

While talking with ANI, the 'Chand Sifarish' singer strongly condemned the terrorist attack in Kashmir and expressed his grief for the lives lost and displayed empathy with the victims.

"Of course, there is grief in our hearts, but as Raj Kapoor said - 'The show must go on'. A lot of empathy and sympathy for the victims. But that's what they want, they want to stop things, they want to call things back, but we won't let that," said Shaan.

The singer also expressed his excitement for the summit, which marks the convergence of different artists from the entertainment industry.

"I am thrilled and excited for this summit. We all have such a wonderful platform to present our ideas. Artists, content creators and singers from across states have come here today," said Shaan.

On Thursday at the WAVES, Jackie Shroff also addressed the recent terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam, where 26 tourists lost their lives.

"I pay my tributes to the families of the Pahalgam terror attack victims. Everyone is pained by it," he said, while speaking to ANI.

When asked about the recent digital crackdown on Pakistani artists' Instagram accounts in India, Shroff responded, "We don't want to interfere in government policy and create controversy."

The Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, will inaugurate the WAVES 2025 today in Mumbai.

Shaan's words really resonate with me. Terrorists want to divide us and spread fear, but we must stand united. Proud of our artists for continuing cultural events despite such cowardly attacks. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳

Heartbreaking news from Pahalgam 😢 Tourists should feel safe in our own country. While I appreciate Shaan's sentiments, I wish celebrities would also push for stronger security measures in Kashmir. Thoughts with the victims' families.

The timing of this attack during WAVES summit is clearly intentional. These terrorists want to disrupt peace and cultural exchanges. But as Shaan said - the show must go on! Our artists are showing real strength.

While I condemn the attack, I'm uncomfortable with celebrities making statements on sensitive issues. They should stick to entertainment. Security matters should be left to experts and government. Just my opinion.

Kashmir tourism has suffered enough. These attacks hurt ordinary Kashmiris the most - hotel owners, taxi drivers, artisans. We need to support them while dealing firmly with terrorism. Shaan's balanced approach is commendable.

The Raj Kapoor quote was perfect! Terrorism has no religion or nationality. As Indians, we must not let fear win. Also excited for WAVES - our soft power is our strength ✨
