26 November 2019 marks 11 years since the 2008 terrorist attacks on Mumbai. Over 164 people were killed and 308 were wounded. Bollywood celebrities, including Amitabh Bachchan, Arjun Kapoor, Ayushmann Khurrana and Anushka Sharma took to Twitter to mourn the martyrs and victims of the attacks.
Here’s how celebrities marked the day:
“Salute... in the sacrifice and the honour,” wrote Bachchan in response to a post honouring police officer Tukaram Omble, who lost his life in the attempt to apprehend terrorist Ajmal Kasab. He was posthumously honoured with the Ashok Chakra the following year.
Ayushmann Khurrana and Arjun Kapoor took to opportunity to remember the valour of those who lost their lives battling terrorists.
“Remembering all our heroes, our martyrs for their valour, courage and sacrifice. We salute you. Jai Hind,” wrote Arjun Kapoor.
“A humble salute to all the martyrs of the ghastly and horrific 26/11 terror attacks. Our thoughts and prayers will always be with the families of all the soldiers and civilians who lost their lives in this incident,” Anushka Sharma tweeted.
