Mumbai, May 11: After weeks of cryptic silence marked by blank posts, legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan returned to social media with a stirring tribute to the victims of the Pahalgam terror attack and a heartfelt salute to the Indian Armed Forces for their bold retaliation under Operation Sindoor.

In an emotionally raw and vivid post on X (formerly Twitter), Bachchan painted the horrific picture of the violence:

"While families were celebrating, a monster dragged an innocent couple from their home, stripped the husband, and executed him in cold blood — even as the wife pleaded for mercy on her knees. Her cries were ignored. Her husband was killed. She was left a widow."

Bachchan then turned poetic, quoting a deeply symbolic line by his father, legendary poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan:

"Hai chita ki raakh par maangti sindoor duniya."

(The world seeks vermillion from the ashes of a funeral pyre.)

He drew a poignant connection to Operation Sindoor, India's military response, with the emphatic line:
"De diya sindoor!"

(Vermillion was given indeed.)

Bachchan concluded with a rousing invocation of his father's iconic poem "Agneepath", a call to resilience and unyielding strength:

"Tu na thamega kabhi, tu na mudega kabhi, tu na jhukega kabhi — kar shapath, kar shapath, kar shapath! Agni Path! Agni Path! Agni Path!"

(You will never stop. You will never turn back. You will never bow down. Take an oath! The path of fire!)

The post marked not just a return to social media for the Bollywood legend, but also a stirring reminder of the cost of conflict — and the undying spirit of those who stand against terror.
