The first 2 pics were taken in 2012 in Pahalgam, when my husband & I visited Kashmir. 13 years later, terror unfolded here on April 22, 2025. (Third pic). On the Baisaran meadows of Pahalgam. 26 innocent lives lost. So many families shattered. It’s just heart-breaking. #Justice

The owners of Karachi Bakery have always stepped up to help, every time we’ve reached out to them to feed economically backward students. To vandalise their bakeries saddens so many of us. Those actions reek of religious bigotry & ignorance. We stand behind KB. Hate must not win

Shawshank Redemption is one of my fave films. June 16, ‘25 was humbling. Humbling, because we were given a tour of 1 of the best Central Prisons in India. And it was not a dull, dreary place. We are trying to impart vocational skills to inmates. Everyone deserves a 2nd chance
