As military tensions between India and Pakistan continue to mount, a wave of patriotic sentiment has swept across the country, with many from Bollywood taking a stand in support of the Indian Armed Forces. Among those voices is actress Anushka Sharma, who has aligned herself with the national mood by acknowledging the selfless service of the soldiers guarding the nation’s borders.
In a subtle yet powerful gesture, Anushka responded to a widely circulated post that stated, “Days like these make you realise that Army men are the real heroes, not Bollywood celebrities and cricketers.” The post, originally shared by a meme account, quickly gained traction for its blunt honesty.
Anushka, who is not only one of India’s top actresses but also the wife of globally celebrated cricketer Virat Kohli, signaled her agreement by liking the post on Instagram, a move that did not go unnoticed by her followers.
Her support didn’t end there. Prior to this, Anushka Sharma used her own Instagram Stories to express gratitude toward the Armed Forces during the escalating cross-border tensions. In her message, she 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.” It was a direct and heartfelt salute to those who serve the country, echoing the sentiment of many citizens during uncertain times.
Virat Kohli also joined her in acknowledging the bravery and commitment of India’s soldiers, posting his own message of appreciation on social media. Together, the couple’s expressions of solidarity have added to the growing chorus of public gratitude for the Armed Forces — a reminder that, beyond the world of lights and cricket stadiums, there are those who face real danger to protect the nation.
