In the wake of Operation Sindoor, where the Indian Army and Air Force successfully targeted 9 terrorist bases in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir and Pakistan on May 7, 2025, the Indian Army's actions have been widely praised by celebrities and online users alike.

Shahid Kapoor, joining numerous Bollywood celebrities, has shown support for the Indian Armed Forces following ‘Operation Sindoor’, a “measured" and “non-escalatory" response to the recent terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam. The actor posted a striking image of an Indian Air Force aircraft on his Instagram, initially captioning it, “India doesn’t provoke. But India never forgets," along with the Indian flag emoji and the hashtag #OperationSindoor.

Shahid later edited his post, removing the initial statement but keeping the emoji and hashtag. He also disabled comments on the now-viral post.

About the Operation

In retaliation for the Pahalgam terror attack, which resulted in the tragic loss of 27 innocent Hindu tourists, India launched Operation Sindoor, targeting terror hubs in Pakistan and PoK. The briefing was historically significant, featuring Wing Commander Vyomika Singh, a notable helicopter pilot from the Indian Air Force, and Colonel Sophia Qureshi of the Indian Army's Corps of Signals, who led the communication efforts. The operation's name honored the women widowed by the event, and the decision to have women lead the military briefing was celebrated as a show of strength.
