The tragic incident in Pakistan has touched the hearts of everyone in the world. The death of innocent children has the whole world in tears. Everyone is speaking out for peace, sending condolences to the grieving families and showing their support for the surviving families, so why should our Bollywood stars fall behind?
In the wake of the tragedy in Pakistan, Akshay Kumar has expressed his hopes that the tension between India and Pakistan cools soon. He has recently offered his sympathy and support to the grieving families of the children that lost their lives at the Peshawar School. Earlier this week, Akshay posted on his social media;

The international star has always spoken of his adoration of the Pakistani people and has expressed his grief in the aftermath of the tragedy. Akshay has previously been quoted in the past by The Hindustan Times saying:
“Terrorists must not be equated with civilians … Let’s all condemn terrorism but please, let’s not look at all Pakistanis with hostility, suspicion.”

D people who kill in anger feel a cause 2 do so, they feel anger fr what they must’ve experienced in their lives. Fr them in their minds they r right. They feel justified.Anger is something we all feel, but we haven’t learnt to resolve it with love. D extent of your anger determines d atrocity u want 2 inflict. We all r examples of this. We all r guilty of dis. D atrocities around d world is just a manifestation of d anger at d individual level. U want to do something about d children who lost their lives in Peshawar. Then wage a war against your own anger every time someone causes u pain, every time injustice is done unto you, practice perspective, learn to resolve it with love. Watch ur reaction. Don’t feel helpless by thinking u can’t do anything fr d people who died. Make a change within today.Expressing your concern is not enough. Make that change at d core. Your core. And know that thru that u have helped d world. Practice ur own peace fr a peaceful world.”

We send out love and heart felt condolences to the surviving families. Their loss is a loss for the entire world and we pray that they have the strength to stand up again.
