The recent terror attack in Pulwama has been condemned throughout the nation and B-Townies are also leaving no stone unturned in reaching out and helping the families of the soldiers who lost their lives.

While celebs like Amitabh Bachchan, Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan and so on are offering financial assistance, many others like Javed Akhtar-Shabana Azmi called off their Karachi visit.

Now, actor Ali Fazal has walked out from the 5th edition of Jashna-E-Rekhta in Dubai.


Ali was invited to talk about the use and promotion of Urdu language in Hindi films at the 5th edition of Jashna-E-Rekhta in Dubai. The festival is an annual 3-day festival held under the umbrella of Rekhta. However, owing to the recent horrendous attacks in Pulwama, Ali decided to pull himself out from the event to show his solidarity towards the Indian jawaans. He was in utter shock of the inhuman attacks that can be regarded as the bloodiest in recent years and reached out to the organisers to express his displeasure of what transpired and hence he withdrew from the event.

I have already called out for help whoever is out there, to not just pray and look for better time but to be able  help the family of those jawans who lost their lives in this terrible attack. And of course to not be part of this event, at least not in these time because our country is in mourning.”
