Actress Nabha Natesh expressed deep sorrow over the terrorist attack on tourists in Pahalgam, stating that it deeply affected her. She condemned such terrorist attacks as heinous acts and expressed her solidarity with the victims. Nabha shared that she had filmed in the beautiful location of Pahalgam and described it as an enchanting and delightful place. She also shared her memories of shooting there. Nabha Natesh responded, saying, “Pahalgam is a beautiful place. I shot for the movie Darling there. We filmed in locations spread over 5 kilometers, all of them stunning. It is a heinous act to carry out a terrorist attack in such a heavenly place. My heartfelt condolences go out to the families of the victims. After such incidents, filmmakers might hesitate to go to Pahalgam. The local people were very kind, and they became good friends of our team. When I heard about the attack, all the memories of shooting there came rushing back.”
Adding, “I remember Pahalgam as a place of serenity and tranquility but to see a beautiful place like that being filled with bloodshed is hard to digest. Nabha recalls shooting for her first ever solo song in the film. The song showcases her as an independent girl and travelling across the country. And as part of the shooting, the film unit travelled to Kashmir, and shot at Pahalgam and other places for around a week. “The place is like heaven on earth,” she comments. According to her, the support from the local communities has been heartening. Many locals visited the film sets and interacted with the crew. “They were speaking Kashmiri and I was trying to understand,” she smiles. She added, “Localities were trying to facilitate the tourists like us because they said that their chief income resource is from tourism. My director told me to interact with the kids and that he would capture all the candid shots. Just being surrounded by beautiful people, mountains and picturesque locations is mystical.”
