In the early hours of May 7, the Indian Armed Forces launched ‘Operation Sindoor’—a series of intelligence-driven precision strikes targeting nine terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).
The mission came as a decisive response to the gruesome April 22 attack in Pahalgam, where 26 people—including 25 Indians and one Nepali tourist—were executed in cold blood. Militants had reportedly identified their victims by religion before committing the mass killing.
Operation Sindoor has not only demonstrated India's strategic military capabilities but has also unified the nation in grief, resolve, and pride. In a show of solidarity rarely witnessed at such a scale, celebrities from the film industry and sports fraternity have flooded social media with praise for the armed forces.
Film Stars Speak Out
Actor Ayushmann Khurrana posted an image of “Operation Sindoor” in bold on Instagram with a succinct message: “Terrorism has no place in this world 🇮🇳.” Legendary actor Kamal Haasan also weighed in, stating, “A proud India stands united with its armed forces. This is the resolute response of a strong nation that will not be divided by cowardly acts of terror… Jai Hind.”
Actor Dhanush expressed his support on X: “Our country stands united against terror... Proud of our armed forces... Jai Hind.” Meanwhile, Ajay Devgn saluted the Prime Minister and the Indian military, writing: “Saluting our Honourable Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi and our Indian forces. India stands tall and strong. Jai Hind!”
Veteran actor Suniel Shetty declared “Zero tolerance. Total justice,” and Vivek Oberoi’s powerful message cut through the noise: “Terror shall not prevail. This is not a war against any religion or nation. It’s a war against terror.”
Sports Icons Applaud Bravery
Cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar called for national unity in his message: “Fearless in unity. Boundless in strength. India’s shield is her people… We’re ONE TEAM!”
Gautam Gambhir, former MP and head coach of India’s men’s cricket team, was one of the first to post: “Jai Hind.” Fellow cricketers Aakash Chopra, Harbhajan Singh, Pragyan Ojha, and Suresh Raina followed suit, flooding timelines with messages of national pride. Indian women’s cricket star Jhulan Goswami poetically summed it up: “Precision. Purpose. Power. That’s how India answers. #OperationSindoor”
Olympic wrestler Bajrang Punia, whose own family suffered in the Pahalgam massacre, stated: “The Indian Army has brought some solace to families like mine… Let this operation be a warning: any attack on India will be met with strength and resolve.”
Paralympic legend Devendra Jhajharia praised Prime Minister Modi’s leadership, calling Operation Sindoor a “tribute to bravehearts” and a demonstration of India’s unshakable resolve.
Cricketers Shikhar Dhawan and Mohd Shami, Olympic medallist Sakshi Malik, boxer Vijender Singh, badminton star Saina Nehwal, and many others echoed their admiration with emotional and defiant posts.
Operation Details
The Indian Armed Forces precisely targeted high-value terror infrastructure associated with Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed in Muridke, Bahawalpur, Kotli, and Muzaffarabad—long known as operational hubs for cross-border terrorism. The Ministry of Defence emphasized that the strikes were carefully executed to avoid civilian casualties and were aimed solely at terror-linked targets.
Sources indicate that no Pakistani military assets were harmed, highlighting India’s disciplined and focused approach to retribution.
Public Sentiment and Patriotism Surge
Across the nation, citizens have voiced support for Operation Sindoor, calling it a long-overdue answer to repeated provocations. Many have pointed out the symbolism behind the operation’s name—'Sindoor'—representing the marital dignity and emotional trauma inflicted upon Indian women who lost their husbands in terror attacks.
“Terrorists wiped the sindoor off our sisters’ foreheads. India’s reply wiped out the roots of that terror,” said wrestler Sakshi Malik in a heartfelt post with her husband, Arjuna awardee Satyawart Kadian.
