From Kangana Ranaut to Akshay Kumar, Bollywood Reacts to Operation Sindoor! 'Extremely Proud of our Armed Forces’

New Delhi, May 7, 2025 – As India launched Operation Sindoor, a pivotal military strike against terrorist bases in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), Bollywood celebrities like Rajnikanth, Rajkumar Rao, Akshay Kumar, Wamiqa Gabbi, Kangana Ranaut took to social media to express their support for the armed forces and the nation’s strong resolve against terrorism.

In a strong response to the brutal Pahalgam terror attack that happened on April 22, 2025, the Indian government launched a powerful military strike called Operation Sindoor. The

Pahalgam attack had shocked the nation, as several innocent tourists lost their lives in the terror strike carried out by Pakistan-backed terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir.

The operation was carefully planned and successfully carried out at midnight on Wednesday, hitting multiple key locations used by terror groups.
