Anupam Kher is dumb founded. He never thought that his film 'A Wednesday' would turn into reality. He's devastated by the recent terrorist attacks in the city like many others.

His close friend Karambir Kang, general manager of the Taj Mahal Palace and Tower Hotel, lost his wife in the Mumbai terror strike.

The shaken actor has reportedly said, "Karambir has lost his wife and two children. They were burnt to death. He's a close friend. How am I going to face him? I'm numbed by what has happened to Mumbai."

A very upset Anupam says he's shocked by the massacre of so many people.

Anupam goes on to add that he never thought that that the film he did would become a reality as these things were only seen in the movies and such a savage terrorist attack on Mumbai would happen on a Wednesday.

Anupam sees the latest attack on Mumbai as a huge challenge.He's been a victim of extremism and militancy as a Kashmiri Pandit earlier.

He expresses his displeasure vehemently, "Earlier, bomb blasts were contained because they were planted at select places.

Victims fled from where the explosions occurred. Now the terrorists are telling us we've nowhere to run. And all this nonsense about Mumbai bouncing back after each tragedy. Please! What choice do the people have?

It's like recovering from a war and waiting for the next attack. We cannot offer any solace to people who have lost their loved ones. No balm will work. If after 9/11 America has made sure no such incident happens, why do we continue to have 9/11s constantly?

It's a failure of intelligence. How did so many terrorists enter Mumbai with so much sophisticated weaponry? What the government is doing is not sufficient."

He further adds that there is no balm for the bomb and only the victims know what they are going through.

Well said, Mr Kher. Only if the people concerned would listen and do something about this serious issue drastically!
