Madhuri Dixit criticized for deleting pro-palestine post amid 'All eyes on Rafah' campaign

The 'All Eyes On Rafah' social media campaign gained significant traction after an Israeli airstrike caused a devastating fire in a Rafah camp, resulting in the deaths of dozens of Palestinians on Sunday. Among the Bollywood celebrities who shared the viral 'All Eyes On Rafah' post in support of Palestine was Madhuri Dixit. However, she soon deleted her Instagram Stories, which led to criticism from some social media users.

In the comments section of an Instagram Reels video that Madhuri posted of herself in a pink lehenga on Monday, a user expressed disappointment on Wednesday, saying, "Posting and deleting because of what some people think is even more pathetic. Very disappointed." Another commented, "Ma'am you deleted post after facing backlash..."

The Israeli strikes in Gaza's Rafah killed over 40 Palestinians, including many children, drawing condemnation from various countries and human rights organizations. As images of the injured and deceased circulated on social media, the 'All Eyes on Rafah' campaign began trending.

Several Indian celebrities who posted the 'All Eyes On Rafah' photo on Instagram and did not delete it include Priyanka Chopra, Sonam Kapoor, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Swara Bhasker, Richa Chadha, Dia Mirza, Dulquer Salmaan, Konkona Sen Sharma, Ileana D'Cruz, and Nora Fatehi.
