After a period of silence following the Pahalgam terror attack and the subsequent Operation Sindoor, Amitabh Bachchan has finally addressed the situation, expressing his grief and saluting the Indian Army. His silence had drawn criticism and concern from fans, especially after he continued to post cryptic, wordless messages on social media.

Bachchan's recent posts reflect on the tragic Pahalgam attack, where terrorists brutally killed innocent tourists. He recounted the horrific details of the attack, emphasizing the cruelty inflicted upon the victims and the immense grief of the widow. He expressed deep sorrow for the loss of life and the suffering caused to the affected families.

In his statement, Bachchan highlighted the Indian Army's response through Operation Sindoor, launched as a counter-offensive after the Pahalgam attack. The operation targeted terrorist hideouts in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). While details of the operation remain sparse in the public domain, it is understood to have been a significant response to the terror attack. Bachchan saluted the bravery and valor of the Indian Army, acknowledging their efforts to protect the nation and its citizens. He also used the iconic dialogue "Tu na jhukega kabhi" from his film Agnipath.

Bachchan also referenced a line from his father, Harivansh Rai Bachchan's poem, to convey the anguish and despair of the widow. He further added that the widow went to Modi and said: "Hai cheeta ki raakh kar main maangti, sindoor duniya (the ashes of the pyre, the world asks for vermilion)".

The veteran actor's initial silence on the matter had sparked varied reactions. Some fans were worried about his health and well-being, while others questioned his lack of response to such a critical national issue. Bachchan's eventual statement has been welcomed by many as a sign of solidarity with the armed forces and a condemnation of terrorism.
