Sri Lanka was shaken by blasts that occurred on Easter Sunday, April 21. At least 160 people were killed and more than 450 others were injured after simultaneous blasts hit three churches and three hotels in Sri Lanka around 8.45 am (local time) as the Easter Sunday masses were in progress in churches.

Jacqueline Fernandez, whose father is Sri Lankan, took to Twitter to share her outrage and denounce the Sri Lanka blasts. She wrote:
Extremely sad at the news of bombings in Sri Lanka. It’s unfortunate that one is not able to see that violence is like a chain reaction. This has to stop !
