The Indian Army’s recent Operation Sindoor has not only captured headlines but has also earned overwhelming praise from Bollywood, with stars like Katrina Kaif and Raveena Tandon saluting the bravery of India’s armed forces—especially highlighting the valor of Colonel Sofiya Qureshi and Wing Commander Vyomika Singh.
Katrina Kaif took to her Instagram story, sharing a powerful image from the official press briefing featuring the two female officers and National Security Advisor Vikram Misri. With folded hands in emojis and deep admiration in her words, she wrote, “Colonel Sofiya Qureshi, Wing Commander Vyomika Singh and every member of our armed forces. The bravest of bravehearts. Jai Hind.”

Meanwhile, veteran actress Raveena Tandon shared a striking video of the officers addressing the nation and lauding the female leadership in India’s defense forces. The quote from the video went viral instantly: “They left our women to go and tell the story of what happened that day, so we sent our women to tell them what we did to them.” The sentiment struck a chord with millions, symbolizing poetic justice and the power of Indian women leading from the front.
Social media has since been flooded with tributes to both officers, who have become national icons overnight. From civilians to celebrities, everyone is united in their admiration for the strength, clarity, and composure with which they presented India’s counter-terror strategy.
Colonel Sofiya Qureshi and Wing Commander Vyomika Singh have shattered every stereotype, proving that leadership in the Indian Armed Forces is defined by merit, discipline, and courage—irrespective of gender. Their presence at the forefront of Operation Sindoor not only signifies India’s no-tolerance stance against terror but also shines a spotlight on the increasing prominence of women in national security roles.
