Today marks 11 years of the 26/11 Mumbai attacks -- one of the most sordid chapters of modern Indian history. In 2008, 10 Pakistani terrorists belonging to Lashkar-e-Tayyiba sneaked into Mumbai and gunned down over 160 people. Over the course of their attack, nine of them were killed while one -- Mohammed Ajmal Kasab -- was arrested and finally executed in November 2012. Arriving in Mumbai from Karachi, Pakistan, by a fishing trawler, the 10 terrorists unleashed mass destruction at the city's hubs such as Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus railway station, Taj Mahal Palace hotel, Cafe Leopold, Cama and Albless Hospital, Nariman House, and Oberoi-Trident Hotel.

As the attack completes 11 years today, Bollywood celebrities took to Twitter to pay tribute to the bravery of security personnel and remembered the martyrs. From Amitabh Bachchan to Ayushmann Khurrana and Arjun Kapoor, here's what the celebs tweeted:
