Opinion varies, as someone from a relatively liberal family, no one in my family is taking it seriously. Such a situation broke out even in 2019, though the people killed this time by the Pakistani side have been tourists, including 1 Nepali tourist and one Kashmiri. So people are kind of angry (rightfully). But yes, most people think it’ll be border skirmishes, not full blown war.
The Kargil War of 1999 was fought between nuclear armed India and Pakistan too, and nothing much happened other than some 500+ deaths on our side and a quick victory. I sincerely doubt either side wants war. As stupid as Modi is, he isn’t going to wage war just for votes. Communal riots are more effective, and more of his thing.
One key detail is that India didn’t strike any Pakistani bases, just terrorist bases. Masood Azhar of Jaish e Mohammed confirmed that his mosque was targeted. (He expressed a disturbing amount of joy for the fact that his family was killed.)

Looks like you underestimated the situation
Yes, I was wrong. I hope your family is safe.
