In the wake of escalating tensions between India and Pakistan, several voices from the film industry have come forward in solidarity with the Indian Armed Forces. Among them, actress Janhvi Kapoor has penned a moving message, applauding the unwavering courage of the country’s military personnel and expressing appreciation for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s decisive leadership.
In her heartfelt note, Janhvi conveyed her deep distress over the violent scenes that unfolded on Indian soil recently. She admitted to being shaken by the visuals aired on the news, noting that she never expected to witness such turmoil within the nation’s borders during her lifetime. While condemning the violence, she expressed concern for innocent lives caught in the crossfire — on both sides of the conflict.
“I’ve felt every ounce of the anguish and frustration that has led us to this moment,” she wrote, “but the idea that innocent lives may suffer leaves me frozen in fear. No justification, no political motive can ever make such a loss acceptable. To harm innocents goes against everything it means to be truly Indian.”
Janhvi went on to highlight India’s historically peaceful stance, stating that the country has never initiated aggression, nor sought to impose itself on others. However, she acknowledged that after enduring years of repeated provocations and hostile actions, a firm response was necessary.
“We are a nation built on the principles of peace and coexistence. We don’t invade; we don’t impose. But this time, after enduring countless attacks, we stood up and responded. It was not about war—it was about safeguarding our dignity and our people,” she explained.
Praising the Indian Army, Navy, and Air Force, the young actress expressed admiration for their courage, discipline, and dedication. She described the military as the nation’s strongest shield, tirelessly working to keep citizens safe and secure.
“Our protectors in uniform — your strength fills us with confidence, even in the face of fear. You are the guardians of our soil and our freedom. We owe you more than words can express,” Janhvi shared.
She also thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for taking a firm stand against those who threaten national peace and unity. “Leadership means making tough decisions when they are needed most. Thank you, Prime Minister, for reminding us that standing up for ourselves is not an act of hostility, but one of justice and self-preservation.”
Concluding her message, Janhvi made a passionate appeal for unity, urging citizens to resist divisive forces and uphold the spirit of togetherness. She reaffirmed her commitment to the country and its ideals, emphasizing that India’s actions stem from a place of resilience, not extremism.
“This is not about aggression; it’s about defending what’s ours — our people, our values, our future,” she wrote. “Now more than ever, we must stay united and rise above hatred. We are stronger together.”
