The entire nation is mourning the loss of 40 CRPF jawans in the latest Pulwama attack in Jammu & Kashmir. While some of the Bollywood celebrities donated money for the welfare of the martyred families, most of the stars took to their social media account to display their grief and anger over the recent terror strike. Not only this but in the wake of the current situation, makers of the films including Total Dhamaal, Lukka Chuppi, and Arjun Patiala decided not to release their movies in Pakistan. Adding to the list, Salman Khan's Notebook, and the Shahid Kapoor starrer Kabir Singh have withdrawn their release in the neighboring country.
