As India launched Operation Sindoor, a swift and calculated retaliatory strike targeting terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), strong support has poured in from the film industry. Among the most powerful voices was that of Mollywood legend Mohanlal, who lauded the Indian Armed Forces and issued a resounding message of national determination.
Posting on his official X (formerly Twitter) account, Mohanlal wrote:
“We wore Sindoor not just as tradition, but as a symbol of our unshakable resolve. Test us, and we rise—fearless and stronger. Saluting every valiant heart in the Army, Navy, Air Force, and BSF. Your courage is our pride. Jai Hind!”
Superstar Rajinikanth, renowned for his commanding presence both on and off screen, also paid tribute to the forces. He posted:
“The fighter’s fight begins... No stopping until the mission is complete! The entire NATION stands with you.”
His statement rapidly gained traction across social media, drawing admiration from fans and fellow celebrities alike.
Veteran actor Mammootty voiced his heartfelt gratitude, writing on X:
“Salute to our Real Heroes! #OperationSindoor once again proved that when the nation calls, the #IndianArmy answers. Thank you for saving lives and restoring hope. You make the nation proud. Jai Hind!”
Pawan Kalyan, Jana Sena Party chief and Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, shared a Hindi message reflecting on India’s enduring patience and the resurgence of its spirit through decisive action:
“Where there is no valor, virtue decays. Where there is no valor, selfishness prevails.”
He expressed appreciation for the leadership of the armed forces and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, describing Operation Sindoor as a revival of India’s inner strength:
“To the brave leadership of the three armed forces and to PM Shri @narendramodi ji, who stood firmly by them—heartfelt thanks. We are always with you. Jai Hind!!”
Operation Sindoor was launched in the early hours of May 7, 2025, in response to the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, where 25 Indian civilians and one Nepali national lost their lives at the hands of Pakistan-backed militants. The brutal assault, which targeted tourists, sent shockwaves across the nation.
In retaliation, India executed precise airstrikes on multiple terror hideouts in Pakistan and PoK, including Muridke, Bahawalpur, Kotli, and Muzaffarabad—areas known to shelter extremist groups.
