A massive earthquake of 7.7 magnitude struck cities of Pakistan consisting of northern areas of Punjab, Peshawar, remote areas of northern Afghanistan and parts of India on Monday afternoon around 2:00 pm, taking over 250 lives and injuring more than 1000 as a result of landslides, stampede and building collisions.
About half an hour after the first earthquake, a 4.8 magnitude aftershock also struck the same areas. The celebrities all over resorted to social media unfolding their personal experiences, praying for the quake victims and expressing gratitude for being alive.
