Anupam Mittal Reacts to India-Pakistan Conflict: ‘Let’s Not Get Distracted’
Shaadi.com founder and Shark Tank India judge Anupam Mittal made a striking comparison between India and Pakistan amid rising tensions following the recent terror attack in Pahalgam, which claimed 26 lives.
In the middle of the outrage and debate, Mittal shared a strong message on LinkedIn, urging people to stay focused on India’s growth and resilience.
“Every few years, the clown across the street sets himself on fire – just to prove he’s still in the circus,” he wrote. Drawing a sharp contrast between the two nations, he highlighted how far India has come over the decades while taking a dig at Pakistan’s current state.
“In 1947, two nations were born from the same soil. Today, one is launching satellites. The other is launching jihad,” he said, urging people not to be distracted by such provocations. “Noise is not power!”
Mittal praised India’s growth and confidence, especially in its response to the recent attack with Operation Sindoor. “India just demonstrated that she is not an aggressor but will neutralise when provoked and escalate if required. This is the maturity of a nation on the brink of greatness,” he added.
He also emphasised focusing on nation-building rather than conflict. “Let’s not waste time on war-mongering. Let’s build the Indian Dream – where merit and hard work decide our future,” he said.
Concluding his post, he wrote: “The Armed Forces just reminded the world that India is sovereign, self-reliant, and decisive. Now it’s our turn. Let’s get back to work. Jai Hind.”
Not just Mittal, but several television celebrities also reacted to the government’s firm response to the attack. Stars like Hina Khan, Devoleena Bhattacharjee, Avinash Mishra, and Aly Goni expressed their support for the Armed Forces and condemned Pakistan’s continued backing of terror groups targeting India.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the nation following the India-Pakistan ceasefire. In his first statement after Operation Sindoor, he clarified that the operation has only been temporarily paused, with future action dependent on Pakistan’s behaviour.
The Prime Minister also stressed that India is closely monitoring Pakistan. He firmly stated: “Terror and talk cannot go together,” adding, “Terror and trade cannot go together” and “Water and blood cannot flow together.” With these words, he sent a clear message about India’s stand on cross-border terrorism.
