Delhi 10/11 Victims Update: Raveena Tandon, Sonu Sood, Vijay Share Condolences for Affected Families
Bollywood and South Indian stars express grief and condolences for families affected by the Red Fort blast in Delhi.
The devastating car explosion near the Red Fort Metro Station on November 10, 2025, that claimed 13 lives and injured around 20 others, sent shockwaves through the national capital and prompting widespread grief across the country. Authorities, including the Delhi Police and National Investigation Agency (NIA), swiftly cordoned off the site, with Union Home Minister Amit Shah personally visiting to oversee operations. Preliminary investigations suggest the explosion originated from a slow-moving Hyundai i20 car at a traffic signal, with an FIR registered under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) and Explosive Substances Act.
Bollywood and South Indian Cinema luminaries were quick to voice their anguish on social media, amplifying calls for unity and justice amid the national mourning. Veteran actress Raveena Tandon posted a heartfelt message: "Condolences to all those bereaved families who lost their loved ones in the Delhi blast. Horrible news," reflecting the profound dismay felt by many in the entertainment fraternity. Actor Sonu Sood, known for his philanthropic endeavours, added, "My heart reaches out to everyone impacted by today's tragic blast near the Red Fort in Delhi. (broken heart emoji) Let's support the victims, look out for each other, and commit to peace," urging collective solidarity. Tamil superstar Vijay, leader of the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam party, stated, "Deeply shocked and saddened by the news of the car explosion near Red Fort Metro, Delhi, that has claimed precious lives. My heartfelt condolences to the families who lost their loved ones. Wishing speedy recovery to all those injured," bridging regional sentiments in a show of pan-Indian empathy.

As investigations intensify with forensic teams analysing debris and the car's previous owner reportedly detained, the focus remains on aiding the affected families and restoring normalcy in the impacted Chandni Chowk vicinity. International reactions, including from the U.S. Embassy, which is monitoring the situation closely, underscore global concern for India's security landscape.
This blast not only tests the nation's resolve but also amplifies ongoing dialogues on urban surveillance and rapid response, with experts advocating for enhanced AI-driven threat detection in metro ecosystems. Amid the sorrow, the outpouring of support from stars like Tandon, Sood, and Vijay serves as a beacon of hope, reminding us that compassion transcends screens in times of inexplicable loss.
