Kargil Vijay Diwas 2025: Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgn, Sidharth Malhotra And Other Bollywood Actors Pay Tribute To The Indian Army

Kargil Vijay Diwas is celebrated every year on July 26, as it was on this date in 1999 that the Kargil War between India and Pakistan came to an end. The Indian Army had won the war by evicting the Pakistan Army troops from the occupied positions, but 527 Indian soldiers were martyred. Many Bollywood celebrities, including Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgn, Sidharth Malhotra, and others, took to social media to pay tribute to the Indian Army.

Akshay Kumar tweeted, "Unn sabhi veero ko shraddhanjali, jinhone hame yeh azadi, yeh garv aur shanti di. Jai Hind (Tribute to all those heroes who gave us this freedom, this pride, and this peace. Jai Hind)."

Ajay Devgn shared on X, "Jaha maut bhi kaanp jaaye, waha hamare Hindustan ke jawan khade hote hai (Where even death trembles, there stand the brave soldiers of our Hindustan). Remembering our bravehearts today and every day."

Sidharth Malhotra played the role of Captain Vikram Batra in Shershaah, a movie which was set against the backdrop of the Kargil War. The actor also tweeted, "To the countless brave hearts who stood tall so we could sleep safe & sound, your spirit lives on in every heartbeat of a proud and graceful nation. Saluting your sacrifice, today and always. #KargilVijayDiwas."

Suniel Shetty, who played the role of an Army officer in Border, tweeted, "The war may be history, but their bravery is eternal. Saluting the courage that echoed through the mountains of Kargil. Forever indebted to the real heroes who gave us victory and kept the Tiranga soaring high with blood, grit and glory. Jai Hind."

Anupam Kher, who recently directed Tanvi The Great a movie revolving around the Indian Army, also tweeted, "On #KargilDiwas #TeamTanviTheGreat SALUTE the #INDIANARMY. Jai Hind!"

Bollywood has produced many films that revolve around the Kargil War, like Shershaah, Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl, LOC Kargil, Lakshya, and others.
