The Indian Army’s legacy resonates far beyond the battlefield, reaching the hearts of Bollywood’s elite. As the nation marks Army Day, we delve into the profound connections of stars like Anushka Sharma and Nakul Mehta with the olive greens.
Anushka Sharma stands out for her unwavering support. Beyond her marriage to Virat Kohli, she actively participates in army-related campaigns. Her visits to border areas and endorsements for soldier welfare programs underscore a commitment that’s genuine and inspiring.
Nakul Mehta’s story is equally compelling. Growing up as an army brat, he absorbed values of resilience and camaraderie. In interviews, Nakul reveals how army life shaped his acting career, bringing authenticity to his on-screen portrayals of determined characters.
The list extends to actors like Ayushmann Khurrana, who honors his grandfather’s memory—a decorated officer—and Sonakshi Sinha, whose family reveres military service. These ties foster a culture where cinema salutes the sentinels of the nation.
Celebrations this Army Day include wreath-laying at Amar Jawan Jyoti and spectacular drills. For these stars, it’s personal—a day to reflect on roots and renew pledges of solidarity with the forces that protect India’s sovereignty.
