Amid India-Pakistan tensions, Rhea Chakraborty’s Instagram post goes viral, says, ‘I grew up…’
When it comes to uniting with the nation amid the India-Pakistan tensions, Bollywood celebs are not really behind. Recently, Rhea Chakraborty took to her social media handle and expressed gratitude towards the Armed Forces. She penned a heartwarming note, which made every Indian emotional.
Taking to Instagram, Rhea poured her heart out as a ‘Fauji daughter’, and saluted the bravery of the Indian Armed Forces. In her post, she wrote, “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.”
Rhea added, “Being an Army officer’s daughter means you learn early… that love often looks like distance. That pride quietly holds hands with fear.”
She wrote, “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.”
“To every Army, Navy, and Air Force 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 Hind,” concluded Rhea.
Apart from Rhea, many other Bollywood celebs who have Army roots, including Anushka Sharma, Akshay Kumar, Nimrat Kaur, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Sushmita Sen, and Lara Dutta, among others, have shared emotional and moving messages for the Indian Army.
After the Pahalgam attack which took place on April 22, 2025, claiming 26 lives, Indian Armed Forces launched Operation Sindoor in response to the attack. Nine terrorist hideouts in Pakistan on May 7, 2025, were targeted and destroyed in the response.
