NEW DELHI: Indian television star Madhura Naik has shared that her sister and brother-in-law were killed in the Israel-Hamas conflict. The star's sister Odaya and her husband were killed by Hamas terrorists last Saturday.
The actress informed about this through an emotional video released on social media. "I, Madhura Naik, am a Jew of Indian origin. We are now only 3,000 in strength here in India. On October 7, we lost a daughter and a son from our family. My cousin Odaya and her husband were murdered in cold blood in the presence of their two children. The grief and emotions that I and my family face today cannot be spoken in words. As of today, Israel is in pain. Her children, her women and her streets are burning in flames in the wrath of Hamas. The women, children, elderly and the weak are being targeted" said Madhura.
She also stated that she was shocked to see the reactions of Palestinian supporters after she had posted a picture of her sister and family on social media.'I was shamed, humiliated and targeted for being Jewish', she said in the video.
