Pahalgam Bleeds, Govt Parties with SRK, Alia Bhatt?

The Waves Summit on May 1, 2025, created headlines for featuring a long list of popular faces from the entertainment industry, including Shah Rukh Khan and Alia Bhatt. While the appearances of the stars are trending everywhere, it has also become a subject of criticism at the same time.

Notably, everyone is well aware of the Pahalgam attack that happened on April 22, 2025. The entire film industry and the general public mourned the loss of lives that happened in the incident.

People are now questioning the decision of the government to organize an expensive entertainment festival following the terror attack. Netizens said that the entire nation is grieving over the incident, and everyone should think about the implementation of better security facilities.

The general public has claimed that the timing of the event is not correct, considering that India is seemingly at the brink of war and there have been geopolitical tensions, including the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty and visa services for Pakistani nationals.

In this situation, hosting a high-profile entertainment summit so soon is being perceived by some people as insensitive and out of touch with the national mood.

More responses are coming in on social media, and it is pretty clear that the public is angry because of the event. The intention might have been good, but maybe the date should have been postponed a little bit until the situation went back to normal.

Films are already releasing in theatres, and maybe for now, people want to stay satisfied with that. More events are possibly being planned in the upcoming months. Let’s wait and see if there will be some kind of cancellation happening.
