Actor Rhea Chakraborty took a moment to honour the bravery and sacrifices made by India's armed forces amid the escalating hostilities between India and Pakistan. She expressed her unwavering support for the military members and their families in a heartfelt Instagram post on Saturday.
Lieutenant Colonel Indrajit Chakraborty's daughter, Rhea, wrote a very personal note reflecting on the sacrifices made behind the scenes by military families. She shared her early understanding of duty, resiliency, and emotional strength, having grown up in a defence household.
She titled the note as, "From a fauji daughter..."
"I grew up watching my dad wear his uniform like second skin – calm, proud, ready. And I grew up watching my mom hold back tears like a soldier too," she wrote. Her words struck a chord with many who understand the quiet strength that defines army families.
The 32-year-old actor further added, "Being an Army officer's daughter means you learn early... That love often looks like distance. That pride quietly holds hands with fear." Her tribute captured the duality of pride and pain experienced by those with loved ones in uniform.
Acknowledging the role of soldiers in ensuring national security, Rhea highlighted their invisible yet vital presence. "Today, I sleep safely in my home because someone else's father, mother, brother or sister is out there – standing at the border, standing tall," she wrote.
She concluded her post with a powerful message of unity and support for defence families: "To every Army, navy and airforce family waiting, hoping, praying – I see you. I feel you. I stand with you. From one fauji home to another... sending love, strength, and a salute. Jai Hindi."
Rhea captioned the post as, "Jai hind Fauji ki beti"
