Operation Sindoor: Bollywood actors Akshay Kumar, Kangana Ranaut and Suniel Shetty showed their support when word spread about Operation Sindoor. Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Riteish Deshmukh, Nimrat Kaur and filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar were among others who hailed the Indian Army in response to India's overnight attacks on terror camps in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (Pok) and other regions of Pakistan as part of Operation Sindoor.

The strikes, carried out from within Indian territory, were described as 'measured and non-escalatory.'

Akshay Kumar wrote, "Jai Hind, Jai Mahakaal" along with a poster of Operation Sindoor on X (previously Twitter).
