Bollywood condemns Paris attacks
Paris, Nov 15 (IBNS): Bollywood film fraternity has expressed solidarity with the people of Paris while issuing strong condemnation after the French city on Friday witnessed a string of deadly terrorist attacks which left about 129 killed.
Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar tweeted: "Woke up to the terrible news of the #ParisAttacks! Haven't we evolved at all? My thoughts, love & prayers with those affected."
Calling the incident shocking and appalling, actress Alia Bhatt posted: "Shocking,Appalling and disgusting!!!!! Yes this massacre is truly an attack on ALL humanity! Really praying for some peace in this world!"
Filmmaker Sajid Khan wrote: "Sad and shocked to see the horrible terrorist attacks in paris..prayers for the victims and their families... #ParisAttacks."

Actress Anushka Sharma wrote: "Woke up to the horrific news about attacks in Paris. Pray for more courage for the people in Paris against these cowardly attacks ."
The terror attacks, worst in France's history since the second world war, were carried out in six locations, including a concert hall, restaurants and the national sports stadium on Friday night.
French President Francois Hollande also blamed the Islamic extremist group and called the assault an "act of war".
The Islamic State released an undated video on Saturday threatening to attack France if bombings of its fighters continue. Earlier on Saturday, Hollande said the attacks were committed by Islamic State, planned and organised from abroad with help from inside France.
At least eight militants, all wearing suicide vests, brought unprecedented violence. Four of them, armed with AK47s and shouting "Allahu Akbar," stormed into a rock concert at the Bataclan concert hall in eastern Paris, gunning down at least 89 people.
