Amitabh Bachchan Breaks Silence on Operation Sindoor After Blank Posts on X

Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan has finally broken his social media silence after over 20 days of sharing blank posts on X. On Sunday morning, he shared a heartfelt post about Operation Sindoor, India's precision strikes on terrorist centers in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.

Bachchan, known for his engaging and often thought-provoking posts on social media, used this opportunity to reflect on the devastating Pahalgam attack and applaud the bravery of the Indian Armed Forces. His post, written in Hindi, included a powerful poem by his late father, the legendary poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan.

Amitabh Bachchan Reflects on the Pahalgam Attack and the Indian Response

In his post, Bachchan first narrated the chilling incident that occurred on April 22, 2025, when a terrorist attack in Pahalgam claimed the lives of 26 innocent people, including several tourists. The details of the attack were shared from the perspective of a woman who tragically witnessed her husband's execution at the hands of the terrorists. She pleaded for his life, but her cries went unheard, and the terrorist ruthlessly shot her husband.

With deep emotion, Bachchan recalled the woman's anguish and the pain of losing a loved one in such a horrific way. As the woman cried, "Kill me too!", the terrorist cruelly refused, instead telling her to spread the word about the brutality. This heartbreaking account set the stage for the powerful tribute to the Indian Armed Forces that followed.

Bachchan Honors the Indian Army With a Poem by His Father

In his post, Bachchan used a poignant poem written by his father, Harivansh Rai Bachchan, to honor the courage and strength of the Indian Army. The poem, famously used in the film Agneepath, was a tribute to the valor of those who serve the country. Bachchan ended his post with a powerful message of support for the Indian Armed Forces, declaring, "Jai Hind! Jai Hind Ki Sena" (Hail India! Hail the Indian Army). He wrote, "Operation Sindoor" as a tribute to the precision strikes carried out by the Indian military in response to the attack.

Bachchan's last post on X was on April 22, the day of the Pahalgam attack, where he had shared a series of cryptic, blank posts with numbers. Fans were left wondering why he had not posted anything meaningful during that time, only to discover his emotional and powerful statement days later. The delay was attributed to the emotional toll that the incident had taken on him, as well as his decision to wait for the right moment to speak out.

Bachchan's return to social media was part of a larger response from the Indian film industry, with other celebrities such as Aamir Khan, Ranveer Singh, Kangana Ranaut, Rajinikanth, and Emraan Hashmi condemning the Pahalgam attack. Many of them expressed their support for the government and the Indian defense forces in their response to the terrorists, which included the precision strikes on May 7, destroying multiple terrorist hideouts.

India-Pakistan Ceasefire Following Tensions

In a positive development, India and Pakistan announced a ceasefire agreement following talks between the Directors General of Military Operations (DGMO) of both countries. This truce, effective from 5 pm on Saturday, aims to halt military operations across land, air, and sea, offering a brief respite from escalating tensions.

Bachchan's post resonated deeply with his followers and the wider public, as it reflected both the pain of recent events and the hope for a better future. His message of unity and patriotism, combined with his father's timeless words, became an emotional reminder of the sacrifices made by the Indian Armed Forces in protecting the nation.

Through his post, Bachchan not only honored the victims of the Pahalgam terror attack but also conveyed a strong message of resilience, urging the country to stay united and strong in the face of adversity.
