The whole nation is saddened and angry after the dastardly Pulwama attack that took place on February 14, 2019. Several Bollywood celebrities, from Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan to Priyanka Chopra, Alia Bhatt and others condemned this horrific act on social media. Veteran celebrities Shabana Azmi and Javed Akhtar even opted out of an event being held in Karachi. Kangana Ranaut, who was all set to host the success bash of Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi, cancelled the event in solidarity for the martyrs.

During a recent interview, Kangana even spoke about the deadly attack by criticising it heavily. She stated, "Pakistan has not only violated our nation’s security they have also attacked our dignity by openly threatening and humiliating us. We need to take decisive actions or else our silence will be misunderstood for our cowardice... Bharat is bleeding today, the killing of our sons is like a dagger in our gut; anyone who lectures about non-violence and peace at this time should be painted black, put on a donkey and slapped by everyone on the streets."

Kangana added, "People like Shabana Azmi calling for a halt on the cultural exchange -- they are the ones who promote Bharat Tere Tukde Honge gangs... why did they organise an event in Karachi in the first place when Pakistani artistes have been banned after Uri attacks? And now they are trying to save face? The film industry is full of such anti-nationals who boost enemies' morals in many ways, but right now is the time to focus on decisive actions... Pakistan ban is not the focus, Pakistan destruction is."
