Today marks the 15th anniversary of the 26/11 Mumbai Attack. The horrors of this incident remain vivid in the memories of every Mumbaikar and those of India. Apart from the Twin Tower attack in New York, a security breach of this magnitude, like the Mumbai attack, has never occurred anywhere in the world. On November 26, 2008, 10 Pakistani terrorists infiltrated south Mumbai via the sea, launching attacks at multiple locations in the city. The assault by the Pakistani terrorist group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) claimed the lives of 166 individuals and injured over 300 people.
To mark the day, Divyaj Foundation, led by Amruta Fadnavis, held the Global Peace Honours at the Gateway of India, paying solemn tribute to the unsung heroes of 26/11. In attendance was Shah Rukh Khan and other celebs. Shah Rukh Khan looked dapper in a black suit as he arrived for the event. The videos are being widely shared on social media.

The Gateway of India, an iconic symbol in Mumbai, is a fitting backdrop with its majestic presence overlooking the Arabian Sea, creating an atmosphere that suits the seriousness and grandeur of the tribute. This occasion witnessed around 600-700 distinguished guests from various fields, including political figures, philanthropists and entertainers. The event brought together celebrities, politicians, diplomats, and dignitaries to not only pay respects to our peacekeepers but also reinforce the global message of peace, unity, and compassion.
Speaking about the event, Amruta Fadnavis had earlier said in a statement, “Global Peace Honours is our way of acknowledging the selflessness and bravery of those who stood strong for peace and also the resilience of Mumbai which kept us together.”
