Survivor Rajita Bagga reacts

Rajita Bagga, a survivor of the 26/11 attacks who was at the Taj Hotel with her husband Ajay Bagga, shared her powerful reaction on X (formerly Twitter). She described the red-screen scene as bone-chilling and gut-wrenching. In her post, she wrote,  “I was in the Taj Hotel on the night of 26/11 with my husband @Ajay_Bagga. We were fortunate to survive the heinous terrorist attack that night and were rescued alive after 14 hours.”

She further wrote, “The most bone-chilling scene in #Dhurandhar for me was the red screen where the actual voice recordings of the 26/11 terrorists and their handlers were played. To hear what the handlers were instructing the terrorists to do, how brutal, inhuman and disgusting it was – just sent shivers through my body. To see the scene recreated from the other side – the handlers celebrating at every bomb going off & every person killed – if that doesn’t fill us with rage and renewed commitment to national security, what else will?

17 years have passed but the memory of what happened and what could have happened to us just shook me to the core. Gut-wrenching and painful. Huge credit to Dhurandhar and its makers @AdityaDharFilms for ensuring that an entire new generation understands what truly happened on 26/11 in just those 2–3 minutes. That look of @RanveerOfficial will haunt an entire generation.”
