Bollywood actor Anushka Sharma took to Instagram on Friday to express heartfelt gratitude and support for the Indian Armed Forces amid the growing tensions between India and Pakistan. With the nation on high alert following a series of military exchanges, Anushka Sharma used her platform to salute the courage and sacrifices of the defence personnel. Her husband, Indian cricketer Virat Kohli, quickly responded to her emotional post and also shared his own message of solidarity with the armed forces.
Posting on her Instagram story, Anushka wrote, “Eternally grateful to our Indian Armed Forces for protecting us through these times like the heroes that they are. Heartfelt gratitude to the sacrifices they and their families have made. Jai Hind
The note resonated with fans across the country and was widely shared. Reacting to her message, Virat Kohli commented “Jai Hind ️”, offering a simple but powerful message of support. Shortly after, Kohli also posted a heartfelt message of his own on Instagram.
In his post, Kohli wrote, “We stand in solidarity with, and salute our armed forces for fiercely protecting our country in these difficult times. We are forever indebted to our heroes for their unwavering bravery and heartfelt gratitude for the sacrifices they and their families make for our great nation.”
Their public messages come in the wake of Operation Sindoor, a precise retaliatory strike conducted by the Indian Armed Forces on Wednesday. The operation targeted nine terrorist centres located in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). It was carried out in response to the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22, which resulted in the death of 26 civilians, including tourists and one foreign national.
The situation escalated further on Thursday night, when Pakistan launched multiple drone and missile attacks targeting border areas in Jammu, Rajasthan, and Punjab. Thanks to India’s advanced defence systems, all incoming threats were intercepted, preventing major damage or casualties.
Anushka and Virat's messages have been praised by fans and followers for striking the right tone during a period of national concern. Their public stand has contributed to a wave of patriotic sentiment across social media platforms, with many users echoing their support for the armed forces.
