Television actors Dipika Kakar and Shoaib Ibrahim left Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, just hours before a terror attack killed at least 26 people on Tuesday. The couple had been vacationing in the area with their infant son, Ruhaan, and returned to Delhi on the morning of the incident.
Shoaib Ibrahim addressed concerns on social media after news of the attack broke. “Hum sab safe hain theek hain, aaj hi morning me we left Kashmir… and we reached Delhi safely,” he wrote on Instagram, thanking followers for their messages.
The couple had posted multiple photos and videos from their trip, including a video of Dipika walking through Pahalgam just two days prior to the attack. Many of their fans expressed concern online after realizing how recently they had been at the location.
Two days before the attack, Aaliyah Kashyap, daughter of filmmaker Anurag Kashyap, also visited Pahalgam with her husband Shane Gregoire and a group of friends. She shared images from the trip on Instagram, showing scenic views and quiet moments from the valley. Following the attack, she posted a message in an Instagram story: “This is crazy, we were just here 2 days ago. Praying for all the victims, their families and all the people affected. This is heartbreaking.”
The attack occurred around 3 PM on Tuesday, with initial reports indicating that the victims were mostly civilians. The details surrounding the motive and identity of the attackers are still under investigation.
