Bollywood’s Deafening Silence on Gaza: Saheefa Jabbar Khattak Speaks Out

The silence from Bollywood celebrities regarding the ongoing crisis in Gaza has been deafening, as Palestinian casualties continue to mount. Actor Saheefa Jabbar Khattak has called out the industry for failing to speak out against Israel’s aggression. Despite the alarming number of Palestinians killed in Israel’s offensive, including the tragic airstrike in Rafah that claimed 45 lives, most Bollywood bigwigs have chosen to remain silent. Saheefa Jabbar Khattak criticized the lack of response from Indian stars, highlighting the hypocrisy of praising Bollywood celebrities in interviews while they ignore the atrocities in Gaza. While a few notable exceptions like Sonam Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra, and Swara Bhasker have spoken out, the overall silence from the industry has been glaring. Khattak urged people to focus on their craft and stop seeking validation from Bollywood. It’s time for the industry to take a stand and speak up against injustice, rather than staying silent in the face of tragedy.
