The Manchester Arena attack right after Ariana Grande’s concert has shaken the entire world once again. The attack took around 22 lives and left over 50 people seriously injured. Though the exact location of the attack has still not been unearthed, it seems that the foyer of the hall had been the epicentre. However, apart from the attack, unfortunately, the stampede caused later on by the concert attendees also became a major cause of some fatal injuries.
Shook by what had happened and how many attendees were affected, Grande took her two cents to Twitter:
broken.
from the bottom of my heart, i am so so sorry. i don’t have words.— Ariana Grande (@ArianaGrande) May 23, 2017
But, this is the time, when Pakistani celebrities prove that no matter how much hate brew between the two nations, they stand up whenever a matter of humanity is concerned. Consoling the families, rebuking the attackers and condemning the whole episode, ace Pakistani faces once again stood up for challenging the evil people taking lives:
