Salman Khans Ceasefire Tweet Sparks Social Media Storm :

In the era of social media, celebrity moves tend to become major news in mere minutes. Following Bollywood superstar Salman Khan’s recent act of posting and then abruptly deleting a tweet about a ceasefire on the social media platform X (previously known as Twitter) ignited a firestorm, he made headlines. The incident was avidly discussed and speculated about. Let’s break down what happened, why it mattered and what it says about the overlap of celebrity, politics and social media. So, what did Salman Khan exactly post to have set social media on fire? The actor posted a message calling for a ceasefire, the exact context of which was not immediately clear. Were you fighting in the world? A metaphorical cease-fire unrelated to their personal or professional conflicts? The vagueness of the post was up for interpretation and speculation.

After the devastating terrorist attack in Pahalgam that killed 26 people, Salman took to his social media to mourn the loss. “Kashmir which was wrapped in the heavenly atmosphere is on the way to become hellish,” he wrote. Innocent people are in the line of fire, and my heart goes out to them and their families. The killing of a single innocent is like the killing of the whole world.” Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri said on Saturday that India and Pakistan had agreed to a cease-fire from the 5 pm hour on all military activities on land, sea and air. Many Bollywood celebrities reacted to this news. Commenting on her Instagram post, Kareena Kapoor wrote, "God protect us" and "Long live India" with corresponding emojis. Karan Johar posted prayer and heart emojis.. Also sharing reactions were other Bollywood celebs such as Raveena Tandon.

26 were killed in Pahalgam attack on April 22. In retaliation, the Indian army launced Operation Sindoor on May 7 - a surgical strike mission on terror camps in Pakistan. And so after some weeks of growing tension the two countries agreed to stop all military activity and firing. As the post got traction, some dissent started to boil. Some critics accused Khan of oversimplifying geopolitical complexities. Others questioned whether celebrities should be speaking publicly at all about such sensitive matters. The debate underscored persistent tension between the influence wielded by celebrities and the responsibility that should accompany it.
