Kargil Vijay Diwas: From PM Modi To Bollywood Stars, Tributes Pour In For India's Bravehearts
Mumbai: Every year on July 26, India commemorates Kargil Vijay Diwas, a day etched in the nation's heart with pride and solemn remembrance. It marks the day in 1999 when India successfully concluded Operation Vijay, reclaiming the strategic heights from Pakistani intruders. On this occasion, several Bollywood celebrities took to their social media handle to pay heartfelt tribute to the brave soldiers who sacrificed their lives during the 1999 war. In a post on social media X, Ajay Devgn wrote, "Jaha maut bhi kaanp jaaye, waha hamare Hindustan ke jawan khade hote our bravehearts today and every day " Actor Sidharth Malhotra, who played the role of Indian Army Captain Vikram Batra in 'Shershaah', paid tribute to the bravehearts, "To the countless brave hearts who stood tall so we could sleep safe & sound, your spirit lives on in every heartbeat of a proud and graceful nation. Saluting your sacrifice, today and always. #KargilVijayDiwas" "The war may be history, but their bravery is eternal. Saluting the courage that echoed through the mountains of Kargil. Forever indebted to the real heroes who gave us victory and kept the Tiranga soaring high with blood, grit and glory. Jai Hind," wrote Suniel Shetty on X. Legendary actor Anupam Kher also paid homage to the soldiers who sacrificed their lives during the 1999 Kargil War, "On #KargilDiwas #TeamTanviTheGreat SALUTE the #INDIANARMY. Jai Hind! @anupamkherstud1" Celina Jaitly, whose father, Colonel Vikram Kumar Jaitly, was an officer in the Indian Army, took to her Instagram handle and wrote, "#kargilvijaydiwas: My late father Colonel Vikram Kumar Jaitly's ( SM) Always said: If you want to honour a soldier, be an Indian worth dying for! Today marks 26 years of India's victory in the Kargil War, a glorious triumph over enemy forces in 1999. India lost 527 brave soldiers in that conflict. We remember them. We honour them. We will never forget. With folded hands and deepest gratitude, Jai Hind" Prime Minister Narendra Modi extended greetings on the occasion of Kargil Vijay Diwas on Saturday and remembered the sacrifices of the jawans who fought in the Kargil War with courage and valour. PM Modi said that sacrifices made by the jawans will continue to inspire every generation."Heartfelt greetings to the countrymen on Kargil Vijay Diwas. This occasion reminds us of the unparalleled courage and valour of those brave sons of Mother India who dedicated their lives to protect the nation's pride. Their passion to sacrifice everything for the motherland will continue to inspire every generation," PM Modi posted on X. The conflict, known as the Kargil war, started in May 1999 when Pakistani intruders crossed the Line of Control and occupied Indian posts on towering ridges with the aim of capturing National Highway 1A, the vital artery connecting Srinagar to Leh at that time. On spotting the intruders, India subsequently launched Operation Vijay. The operation showed the meticulous planning, steely determination, and the indomitable spirit of the forces as the soldiers fought over two months in harsh terrain to drive out every intruder and restored Indian control at every post. Kargil Vijay Diwas honours the sacrifices of the soldiers who fought at the Line of Control on the snow-clad peaks amid relentless enemy fire. On July 26, the Indian flag once again soared over the mountains of Ladakh, thanks to the efforts of our armed forces. During the war, 4 soldiers were awarded the Param Vir Chakra (PVC), India's highest gallantry award. 9 soldiers received the Maha Vir Chakra (MVC) and 55 were honoured with the Vir Chakra (VC). 1 soldier was awarded the Sarvottam Yudh Seva Medal (SYSM), while 6 received the Uttam Yudh Seva Medal (UYSM) and 8 were honoured with the Yudh Seva Medal (YSM). The Sena Medal (SM) was awarded to 83 personnel, and 24 received the Vayu Sena Medal (VSM)

Husain. The film he watched 73 times, why? It wasn't just a casual crush. Husain watched Hum Aapke Hain Koun 73 times, yes, you read that right, just to watch Madhuri. Her charm had him completely spellbound. He even went so far as to book entire theatres for private screenings, refusing to watch her in a crowd. When a painter turned filmmaker So obsessed was Husain that he didn't stop at watching. He decided to direct a film starring her. Thus came Gaja Gamini (2000), a project born out of admiration more than commercial ambition. The film starred Madhuri alongside Naseeruddin Shah and Shabana Azmi. Though the film flopped, it stood as a tribute to his muse. When did it all start? Husain first saw Madhuri in Hum Aapke Hain Koun and was instantly captivated. It wasn't just about her looks; he saw depth, poise, and an ethereal presence that inspired his artistry. Where is Madhuri Dixit now? Madhuri is still active in the entertainment space. While she was last seen as Manjulika in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, she currently has no major projects lined up. Still, her legacy continues, and so do her fans.
