The operation was executed with high precision and secrecy, and it has evoked strong reactions across the country, including from notable figures in the Indian entertainment industry. From megastar Chiranjeevi to actors Riteish Deshmukh, Kajal Aggarwal, and Nimrat Kaur, celebrities took to social media to express their support, pride, and gratitude toward the Indian Armed Forces.
South Indian megastar Chiranjeevi shared a powerful image featuring the text Operation Sindoor, originally posted by the Indian Army. Alongside it, he simply wrote, "Jai Hind," a salute to the courage and spirit of the nation’s defense forces.
Riteish Deshmukh, one of the first Bollywood stars to respond to the operation, posted an emotionally charged message: “Jai Hind Ki Sena... Bharat Mata Ki Jai!!!!! #OperationSindoor.” His words resonated deeply with fans and fellow citizens alike.
Actress Kajal Aggarwal also joined the wave of solidarity, sharing a heartfelt message from Maitribodh Parivaar, honoring the bravery of Indian soldiers and urging citizens to stand united with the forces.
Veteran actor Paresh Rawal kept his message brief but powerful, expressing pride and admiration for the armed forces in a tweet that garnered thousands of likes and shares.
Anupam Kher, a vocal supporter of the Indian Army, wrote, “Bharat Mata Ki Jai #OperationSindoor,” echoing the patriotic sentiment sweeping across the nation.
Nimrat Kaur shared the viral image of vermillion representing the blood and sacrifice of the soldiers, captioning it with: “United with our forces. One country. One mission #JaiHind #OperationSindoor.”
Filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar, known for his nationalistic tone in cinema, expressed his support as well. His post read, “Our prayers are with our forces. One nation, together we stand. Jai Hind, Vande Mataram.”
Taapsee Pannu amplified the efforts of relief organizations like the Hemkunt Foundation, sharing their readiness to assist civilians in need following the military action. Her message highlighted the humanitarian side of national defense.
Tamil-Telugu actor Bindu Madhavi added her voice of support, while popular television hosts and media figures shared the official government press release to bring verified information to the public.
The name Operation Sindoor has quickly taken on an emotional resonance, symbolizing both the sacrifice of Indian soldiers and the sanctity of protecting the nation’s integrity. The use of “sindoor” traditionally symbolic of devotion, sacrifice, and marital commitment in Indian culture evokes powerful imagery of India’s unwavering resolve against terrorism.
According to reports, the nine terror sites attacked were major training camps and logistical hubs of Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed, including the high-profile Muridke Markaz, which was allegedly funded by Osama Bin Laden and known for training terrorists like Ajmal Kasab, the 26/11 Mumbai attacker.
As India mourns the victims of the Pahalgam attack, the resounding reaction from both the public and influential voices within the film industry shows a unified front. From emotional tributes to bold statements of pride, Indian celebrities have echoed the nation’s determination to stand tall against terror and support the forces that guard its borders.
As Operation Sindoor dominates headlines and social media feeds, the film fraternity’s powerful messages continue to trend, proving once again that in moments of national significance, the world of entertainment and the spirit of patriotism walk hand in hand.
