Bollywood celebrities have extended support to the nation and also offered prayers for the safety and well-being of the people.
On Thursday, the Indian Army shot down more than 50 Pakistani drones during a large-scale counter-drone operation along the Line of Control and the International Borders (IB), sources told ANI.
The operation was launched after Pakistan made failed attempts to send multiple swarm drones into Indian territory across different locations, including Jammu and Pathankot in Punjab.
Actress and MP Kangana Ranaut shared a video on her Instagram handle, showcasing the valour of the Indian Army as they neutralise Pakistan drones. While sharing the video, the actress wrote, “Jammu On Target! Indian Air Defence Neutralises Pakistan. Drone in #Jammu. Stay strong #jammu.”
Comedian and actor Vir Das offered his prayers to the people of India who were under blackout due to a drone attack by Pakistan, which the Indian Army neutralised.
Taking to his X handle, the actor wrote, “To family, friends and more who sit in blackouts as we speak, thinking of you, praying for you. To those protecting them, we thank you. Gratitude, prayers and respect. Be safe, be strong.”
South actor Varun Konidela lauded the Indian Army for their successful neutralisation of Pakistan drones, as stated by the Indian Army. Taking to his Instagram handle, he wrote, “More power to our brave Indian Army defending against the attacks of the perpetrators with unwavering valour. We stand united in support and pray for your safety. Jai Hind.”
Through the photo-sharing app Instagram, the actress Shraddha shared her love for the Indian army. She wrote, “Proud of our protectors. Jai Hind.”
Veteran actor Anupam Kher took to social media to share a video from his family’s home in Jammu. The short clip, sent to him by his cousin, showed the area under complete blackout, reportedly due to recent security developments.
On Thursday, the actor shared the video on his X account along with a caption stating that he immediately called his cousin after receiving the video to check on the family’s safety. However, his cousin’s spirit made him proud as he reassured Kher that the Indian Army was there to protect them.
