Ayushmann Khurrana,

देश का हर जवान बहुत ख़ास है,
है लड़ता जब तक श्वास है,
परिवारों के सुखों का कारावास है,
शहीदों की माओं का अनंत उपवास है,
उनके बच्चों को कहते सुना है –
पापा अभी भी हमारे पास हैं!

-आयुष्मान#JaiHind #JaiJawan #Handwara

Anushka Sharma,

Soldiers are also made of flesh & blood & emotion. The men & women behind the uniform & their families require as much love, focus & respect as the uniform itself. #JaiHind #JaiJawan
