On Monday, Bollywood actor Yami Gautam also took to Twitter and urged everyone to watch this film. She penned her support for the film and mentioned that the movie depicts the story of atrocities that Kashmiri Hindus faced.
“Being married to a Kashmiri Pandit, I know first hand of the atrocities that this peace-loving community has gone through. But majority of the nation is still unaware. It took us 32 years and a film to get to know the truth. Please watch and support #TheKashmirFiles,” Yami wrote and dropped a folded hands emoji.

Meanwhile, Yami Gautam’s husband and filmmaker Aditya Dhar also appreciated the makers of The Kashmir Files for their ‘brave attempt to show truth’. “You might have seen numerous videos of Kashmiri Pandits breaking down in the theatres after watching #TheKashmirFiles. The emotion is real. It shows how long we kept our pain and tragedy repressed as a community. We didn’t have any shoulder to cry on and no ear to hear our pleas,” he wrote.
“This film is a brave attempt to show our TRUTH! We were forced to keep this tragedy a secret. We tried moving on hoping that time will heal our wounds. But we were seriously wrong. The wounds still remain. Almost all of us till date are still suffering mentally, emotionally and even physically. It was not just the terrorism that killed so many, it was also what followed the migration,” Aditya Dhar added as he requested everyone to watch the film.
