After Prime Minister Narendra Modi's speech on Monday, Alia Bhatt, on Tuesday took to Instagram to share a heartfelt note for our armed forces. In the post she wrote that she felt that last few nights were different. There was a quiet anxiety. But, while we were at our homes, there were men and women gaurding our sleep. The actress has shared four pages of notes on Instagram.
The first page read, "The last few nights have felt... different. There's a certain stillness in the air when a nation holds its breath. And over the past few days we've felt that stillness. That quiet anxiety. That pulse of tension that hums beneath every conversation, behind every news notification, around every dinner table. We have felt the weight of knowing that somewhere, out there in the mountains, our soldiers are awake, alert, and in danger (sic)."
The second page read, "While most of us are tucked into our homes, there are men and women standing in the dark, guarding our sleep with theirs. With their lives. And that reality... it does something to you. Because you realise this isn't just bravery. It's sacrifice. And behind every uniform is a mother who hasn't slept either. A mother who knows her child is facing a night not of lullabies, but of uncertainty. Of tension. Of silence that can shatter in an instant (sic)."
Alia Bhatt On How She Felt While Celebrating Mother's Day
The actress, who has a 2-year-old daughter, on page three wrote about how she felt while celebrating Mother's Day this year. She wrote, "While flowers were being handed out and hugs were exchanged, I couldn't help but think of the mothers who raised heroes and carry that quiet pride with just a little more steel in their spine. We mourn the lives that have been lost, soldiers who will never come home, whose names are now etched in the soul of this country. May their families find strength in the nation's gratitude."
Alia concluded the note by writing, "So tonight, and every night forward, we hope for less silence born of tension, and more silence born of peace. And send love to every parent out there holding prayers, holding back tears. Because your strength moves this nation more than you'll ever know. We stand together. For our protectors. For India. Jai Hind (sic)."
Well, this time many Bollywood celebs on social media have reacted to the ongoing situation in the country. From the Pahalgam attack to Operation Sindoor to India-Pak conflict and ceasefire, B-Town celebs have not hesitated to share what they felt about all these things. Alia's post for our armed forces is surely very emotional, and on point.
