Actress Payal Ghosh Reveals Pakistani Actor-Friend Asked Her To 'Learn Kalma Before Visiting Kashmir Or Face Consequences'

In a disturbing development, actress Payal Ghosh has claimed that she received a 'cold warning' from a Pakistani actor-friend after she shared her plans of visiting Kashmir, a trip she had booked a week ago. This comes in the wake of the recent terror attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir, where civilians and tourists were targeted by terrorists.

Payal, who was eagerly looking forward to her trip, is now in two minds about whether to proceed, especially after the chilling message from someone she once considered a friend. The warning, she says, was laced with subtle threats and disturbing undertones.

Speaking about the incident, Payal shared, "It's absolutely disgusting. I had casually shared my trip plans with an actor friend from Pakistan as I was looking forward to my trip in Kashmir. My tickets were booked a week back. However, I am not sure whether to go ahead with the trip or not."

Payal added, "There's already a great amount of uncertainty and amidst all this, when you have to hear things that indirectly suggest that you are not safe in your own country, it's definitely infuriating. He told me to learn 'Ilm al-Kalam' or else I should be ready to face the consequences. What does he really mean by 'consequences'? I am really angry and furious after hearing this. The incident seems to be a thing of mockery for people in Pakistan (sic)."

"I regret being friends with people of such a mindset. Praying for the families who lost their near ones and praying for the souls of the ones we lost. May God protect us all," she further said.

On Friday (April 25), the actress also took to her Instagram story and wrote, "One of my Pakistani actor friend, saying to me Kashmir main aana hai toh learn Ilm al-Kalam otherwise you know the consequences... I'm angry and furious...hearing this (sic)."

The recent Pahalgam incident, where terrorists opened fire at a group of civilians and tourists, has left the nation in mourning. 26 innocent people lost their lives in the attack, which has once again put a spotlight on the safety of civilians in conflict-hit zones.
