Kushal Tandon REVEALS His Mother Cancelled Turkey Trip After Nation Backed Pakistan
Last Updated: Television actor Kushal Tandon revealed that his mother cancelled a planned trip to Turkey after the country backed Pakistan in the wake of India's Operation Sindoor. Television actor Kushal Tandon has revealed that his mother, Sandhya Tandon, cancelled a planned trip to Turkey following the country's public show of support for Pakistan in the aftermath of India's Operation Sindoor. The operation, carried out on May 7, saw Indian forces target nine terror launch pads in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) in retaliation for the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, which claimed 26 lives. Taking to social media on Friday, Kushal shared that his mother and her friends had been planning a vacation to Turkey next month, but decided to scrap the trip entirely—even at the cost of losing non-refundable hotel and flight bookings. 'My mom and her friends were planning to go next month, and now they have cancelled their whole trip, even with no refunds getting back from the hotels and airlines. Remember, do your bits," the actor wrote. Kushal's post comes after Turkey and Azerbaijan issued official statements on May 8 expressing solidarity with Pakistan and condemning India's airstrikes on terror bases. Turkey's Ministry of Foreign Affairs labelled India's military action a 'provocative move," while Azerbaijan's Foreign Ministry offered condolences to the families of those allegedly killed in the strikes—drawing criticism from Indian citizens across social media. The diplomatic fallout is also having ripple effects in the travel and tourism sector. Mumbai-based company Go Homestays announced on Thursday that it has severed ties with Turkish Airlines, citing the airline's silence and the Turkish government's unsupportive stance towards India during a critical time. Meanwhile, Turkish Airlines continues to face backlash from Indian users online, with many calling for a boycott of the airline and reconsideration of future travel plans to the country. As Operation Sindoor marks one of India's most significant counter-terror offensives in recent years, public sentiment is growing sharper—not just towards adversarial nations, but also towards those seen as aligning against India's national interest.
