Kargil Vijay Diwas: Anushka Sharma,Taapsee Pannu, Akshay Kumar and other celebs pay tribute to martyrs

On Monday (July 26), India marked Kargil Vijay Diwas paying tributes to the heroes of the Kargil War. In 1999, on the same day, the Indian armed forces successfully completed Operation Vijay by defeating Pakistan’s attempts and recaptured the Indian territories from them. Since then, the day is celebrated as Kargil Vijay Diwas in the country. Apart from the political leaders, our Bollywood celebs have also remembered the sacrifice and valour of the Indian soldiers.

From Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan, Anushka Sharma to Farhan Akhtar, many celebs took to their social media to commemorate this special day and pay tribute to the martyrs.

Abhishek Bachchan wrote, “A day to remember the gallant efforts and sacrifices of the real heroes of the Kargil War. Thank you for shielding us, protecting us, and keeping us safe. Huge respect for all the Kargil warriors ??
#KargilVijayDiwas #JaiHind”.
