Actress Sherleen Dutt, who has been a part of ‘KINK’ and ‘Honey Trap Squad’, says that Kargil Vijay Diwas is a very important day for our country. Kargil Vijay Diwas is celebrated every 26 July in India, to observe India’s victory over Pakistan in the Kargil War for ousting Pakistani Forces from the mountain tops of Northern Kargil District in Ladakh in 1999.
“On this 25th anniversary of Kargil Vijay Diwas, we come together to honour the extraordinary bravery and sacrifices made by our soldiers during the Kargil War in 1999. This day stands as a testament to the indomitable spirit of our armed forces, who, against all odds, reclaimed our territories and upheld the sovereignty of our nation,” she says.
She adds, “As someone from Jammu & Kashmir, I have grown up witnessing the dedication and resilience of our soldiers firsthand. Seeing them stationed nearby throughout my childhood, I have developed a profound respect and admiration for their unwavering commitment to protecting our land and people.”
She says that we need to celebrate these brave hearts. “To the courageous men and women currently serving our country, we owe you an immense debt of gratitude. Your unwavering dedication, resilience, and selfless service continue to inspire us every day. You stand as the first line of defense, often in the harshest and most challenging conditions, ensuring that our borders remain secure and our people safe,” she says.
She adds, “Your commitment to duty, even in the face of grave danger, is a beacon of hope and strength for all of us. As we remember the heroes of Kargil, we also celebrate you, our current defenders, whose relentless vigilance and bravery make it possible for us to live in peace and freedom. We are deeply aware of the sacrifices you and your families make, and we hold your contributions in the highest regard. On this significant day, we salute your courage, honour your service, and pledge our unwavering support and gratitude. Jai Hind!”
