The tragic terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam that resulted in the demise of at least 26 innocents has shaken the nation.

Following this, several entertainment events and concerts have faced cancellation. Now, ‘Kesari Chapter 2’ actor R Madhavan has also expressed his support for the cancellation of the events.

Taking to Instagram stories, R Madhavan supported the cancellation of events following the tragic Pahalgam attack.
