Mumbai: Vicky Kaushal, who played the role of an Army officer in ‘Uri: The Surgical Strike’, said Saturday the terror attack on a CRPF convoy in Pulwama district should not be forgotten and forgiven.
Vicky while attending a promotional event here, Saturday night said, it is necessary to give a fitting reply to the attack which left more than 40 troopers dead.
When asked if he thinks a surgical strike should be carried out, he said he was not the right person to answer the question. “I feel I am a less knowledgeable person… It is easy to say do this, do that and this should happen or that should happen, there are repercussions also that happen,” stated Vicky.
“I think our government will be thinking of the best move, they would be discussing these things and we should leave it to them. This should not be forgotten and should not be forgiven,” he added.
The actor said he is thankful to everyone for their love and support for ‘Uri’ but at the moment he is saddened by the Pulwama terror attack.
“The kind of situation (we are facing), it seems like a personal loss because of the journey we have had while making the movie. It does feel sad when we read about it. It is a very sad sight for all of us,” Vicky stated.
The young actor also lauded megastar Amitabh Bachchan’s decision to donate Rs 5,00,000 each to the families of the martyrs. “I think in any way, be it financially or emotionally, if we can support their families as a nation it is a good thing. We all should come ahead,” said Vicky.
Actor Swara Bhaskar, who was also present at the event, called the attack a heinous crime which had made everyone very sad and angry.
“I think we must mourn as a nation and unite in this time and not fight with each other. We must stand together as a nation. And we must keep this anger and let the Army do its job, they know what they should do,” Swara asserted.
