MUMBAI (ANI) – The announcement of a ceasefire between India and Pakistan on May 10 has triggered a wave of reactions across the nation, including from Bollywood celebrities. Among them was actor Salman Khan, who briefly shared his thoughts on social media before deleting the post.

Khan took to his X (formerly Twitter) account on Saturday, shortly after the ceasefire was announced, and wrote, “Thank God for the ceasefire….” The post, however, was later removed.

Despite being short-lived, the tweet sparked widespread debate online. While some users praised Khan’s endorsement of peace, others criticized the timing of his message, pointing to the recent loss of 26 civilian lives in the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam.

One user commented, “Salman Khan. He was silent for 2-3 days, then tweeted right after the ceasefire agreement. Remember him. Never watch his films again if you’re a true Indian.”

Another user defended the actor, stating, “We know Salman bhai as someone who always advocates peace and love—not just with Pakistan but with all neighbouring countries. The timing may have been off, but he supports the Prime Minister’s ceasefire decision, which I believe is right.”

Salman Khan had earlier reacted to the Pahalgam attack in an emotional post, saying, “Kashmir, heaven on planet Earth, turning into hell. Innocent people are being targeted. My heart goes out to their families. Ek bhi innocent ko maarna puri kainaat ko maarne ke barabar hai.”
