Have performed there in the past, but will never visit Turkey again: Bhoomi Trivedi

Bhoomi Trivedi I have performed in Turkey multiple times. My last visit was in 2022 for a pre-wedding event and I had a good time, as it's a beautiful country. A vacation in Turkey was on my bucket list but after what has happened in the last few days, I will never visit Turkey again,' shares Bhoomi Trivedi. Talking about Turkey's support for Pakistan after Operation Sindoor, the singer adds, 'After the devastating earthquake in Turkey (in 2023), we did our best as a country to help them. While we don't expect anything in return, supporting a country (Pakistan) that has been funding terrorists to hurt India is unacceptable. One needs to be grateful in life, isn't it? I got some souvenirs from Turkey during my last trip. I was so angry and hurt when I got to know about their support for Pakistan that I immediately trashed them.' 'It's time to stay united and boycott countries that are against us' Talking about Indian tourists cancelling their trips to Turkey, Bhoomi says, 'I fully support it. Recently, I read about how 800 Gujaratis cancelled their Turkey trip and felt proud of them. We have the spirit to fight but can't go to the border. If Turkey wants to support the act of terrorism (by Pakistan), due to which our innocent civilians and brave soldiers have lost their lives, the least we can do as citizens is to stay united and boycott countries that are against us. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trade Bitcoin & Ethereum – No Wallet Needed!

We only targeted terror camps in Pakistan and did not intend to harm any civilians. But still, Pakistan launched an all-out attack, targeted our civilians, and Turkey supported them. I am grateful to our Armed Forces for always protecting us. A lot of Indians opt for destination weddings in Turkey. I would urge them to cancel those plans. Our country has so many beautiful destinations that can be explored. ' 'Extremely disappointed with Pakistani artistes saying bad things about India' Bhoomi recalls getting an invite in 2016 to perform in Lahore. She shares, 'In 2016, my team got an email invite, requesting that I consider performing in Lahore. Just as we were discussing what to do next, the Uri attack happened. My mom called me up and said, 'I know you have been invited to perform in Pakistan. But after what has happened in Uri, if you go there, you don't belong to us.' I had decided back then itself to never perform in Pakistan. ' She adds, 'I am disappointed that Pakistani artistes, who have worked here and received immense love from our audience, are defaming India for its retaliatory action against terrorists. Instead of condemning Pakistan's support for terror groups, they are criticising India.' Check out our list of the latest Hindi , English , Tamil , Telugu , Malayalam , and Kannada movies .
