Qissa Khwani Bazaar
Peshawar
KPK
It is the birthplace of Indian actors Dilip Kumar and Raj Kapoor, while Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan's family resides in the area. The bazaar witnessed the tragic 1930 massacre where British forces killed hundreds of unarmed protesters, igniting nationwide protests and elevating the Khudai Khidmatgar movement. Despite modern challenges, Qissa Khwani Bazaar remains a symbol of resistance and cultural heritage.
