The tragic collision of three trains in India claimed close to 300 lives.

Some of the most heartwarming messages have been those of Pakistani celebrities, who have taken to their respective social media handles to convey their heartfelt messages. Pakistani actress Mahira Khan, who made her Bollywood debut with Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Raees in 2017, is one of them. Posting a Time magazine article on the train collision on her Instagram stories, the actress commented: "Prayers for all affected by the tragedy," with a broken heart emoticon.
On the other hand, Hania Aamir, whose show Mere Humsafar was hugely popular in India, also took to social media, posting a clip of the davastating incident with a message: "Heartbroken. Praying for everyone. Praying for the families who lost their loved ones. May God give everyone the strength and the patience to deal with such a tragedy."
