In the aftermath of India’s powerful and precise Operation Sindoor, which dismantled multiple terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK), Bollywood has come forward in a show of unwavering patriotism. Leading this chorus of support are cinema giants Rajinikanth and Akshay Kumar, both known not just for their stardom, but for their deep-rooted love for the nation.
Rajinikanth, the iconic superstar revered across generations, took to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) with a thunderous message. “The fighter's fight begins... No stopping until the mission is accomplished! The entire NATION is with you,” he wrote, tagging the Prime Minister’s Office and Ministry of Home Affairs. His message, ending with “JAI HIND,” captured the collective spirit of a country standing tall behind its armed forces. Fans quickly echoed his words, turning his post into a viral symbol of solidarity.
Joining him in vocal support, Akshay Kumar, known for his consistent portrayal of patriotic roles and dedication to causes related to the Indian military, posted a tribute that was short yet stirring: “Jai Hind, Jai Mahakal.” The actor has long been seen as one of Bollywood’s most earnest patriots, and his message resonated strongly across social media platforms, drawing widespread admiration.
The two stars’ posts came in response to the Indian Army’s swift retaliation to the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22, which claimed 26 innocent lives. Operation Sindoor, launched in the early hours of Wednesday, successfully neutralised nine major terror camps, dealing a decisive blow to groups like Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT).
As news of the operation’s success spread, the nation came together in a wave of pride and unity. From citizens to celebrities, messages poured in lauding the bravery of the Indian Armed Forces. While many in the film industry expressed their support, the voices of Rajinikanth and Akshay Kumar stood out—not only for their influence but for the emotional weight their words carried.
Their public tributes underscore the powerful role that cultural icons play in national moments of grief, justice, and triumph. As India honors the victims of the Pahalgam tragedy and salutes the precision of Operation Sindoor, figures like Rajinikanth and Akshay Kumar remind the world that when the nation calls, its heroes—on and off screen—answer in unison.
