The nation is swirling with tension, knocking at the doors of border warfare. Provoked by Operation Sindoor, Pakistan attempted aerial strikes in various Indian locales, which were thwarted by the S-400 Air Defense System. Blackouts ensued, and advisories called for vigilance.
This scenario disturbed not only the soldiers' sleep but also Bollywood celebs. From Vikrant Massey and Kangana Ranaut to Anupam Kher and Richa Chadha, voices for peace echoed across social media platforms, with stars like Shraddha Kapoor and Tanisha Mukherjee saluting the troops.
