Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia was in Mohali, Punjab when the city underwent a blackout due to tense situation at India-Pakistan border.
Actor Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia, in Mohali to promote her Punjabi film Shaunki Sardar, finds herself in the middle of heightened security following several drone attacks from Pakistan, which have led to blackouts and airport shutdowns across cities near the Indo-Pak border.
Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia was promoting her film in Mohali when the blackouts happened.
“We’ve been here (in Mohali) for over two days; we were supposed to travel city to city, with Bhatinda being the next stop. The blackout in Mohali was obviously all pitch dark with an undeniable sense of tension as the sirens wailed through the night. We were told to stay in our hotels and keep the curtains drawn,” says Nimrit.

As the daughter of Rtd. Brig. Gurdeep Singh Ahluwalia, she says she is somewhat used to such situations: “My dad was in the thick of the Kargil War, so I didn’t panic. But yes, there’s an undeniable eeriness. I spoke to my father. He was calm and told me not to worry — everything will be fine.”
Despite the tense atmosphere, she highlights the warmth around her. “One of our producers brought us home-cooked food during the blackout. It was a simple gesture that made a big difference.”
