In a strong Instagram statement, Bollywood actor Sonakshi Sinha slams media coverage of the India-Pakistan conflict, calling it irresponsible and exaggerated. She criticized Indian news channels for spreading fake news, fear, and over-the-top drama during a tense geopolitical situation.
“I’m so done with these over-dramatized visuals, sound effects, screaming and shouting,” she wrote. “Just do your job and report facts.”
News Channels Under Fire for Fake Visuals and Claims
Sonakshi’s comments come after Indian media outlets aired false footage claiming an attack on Karachi Port. In reality, the visuals were from Gaza. Another channel wrongly labeled a Turkish soldier as a “captured Pakistani pilot.”
These blunders have drawn criticism both in India and across the border, with many accusing the media of fueling war hysteria for ratings.
Public Support Grows for Honest Journalism
Social media users widely supported Sonakshi’s post, echoing her frustration with sensational coverage. People are demanding real journalism — not entertainment disguised as news.
Time for the Media to Take Responsibility
Sonakshi Sinha’s bold stand is a wake-up call. With rising tensions in South Asia, media houses must stop pushing fake news and start reporting the truth
