Ghoshal expressed her heartbreak over Pahalgam attack
Earlier, Ghoshal had expressed her sorrow over the Pahalgam attack on Instagram.
She wrote, "I can't stop thinking about Pahalgam. About the silence that must've followed the chaos."
"About the families whose worlds will never be the same again. It breaks my heart to know that lives were lost in such a beautiful, peaceful place, lives that had nothing to do with violence, yet became its victim. This is a wound to the soul of our nation."
