Stating what his brother told him, the Saraansh actor wrote in Hindi, “Brother, we are in Bharat. We are Hindustani. The Indian army and Goddess Vaishno Devi are protecting us. You do not worry. Anyway, the Indian armed forces are not letting any missiles hit the ground. Jai Mata Di! Jai Hind!” The message not only reassures a sense of pride in the Indian armed forces but also sends a clear message of the trust of the citizens of the state in the defence forces.
In retaliation for the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22, which claimed the lives of 26 innocent tourists, the Indian army and Indian Air Force launched Operation Sindoor. The operation led to the razing of 9 terror camps in Pakistan and POK and neutralised over 100 terrorists. Hailing the mission, Anupam Kher told ANI, "Operation Sindoor is a befitting response to those who try to bring terror to our country, who try to destroy our sisters' sindoor. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, this operation was carried out. Our citizens felt a sense of security when they woke up in the morning. Also, my chest swelled with pride when I saw two women officers, Wing Commander Vyomika Singh and Colonel Sophia Qureshi, giving the official media briefing on Operation Sindoor."

He added, "It is very important for our citizens to do a bit for the nation, salute to the armed forces for making us feel safe. They sacrifice their lives for us. We should say thanks to them. I would also like to thank PM Modi. Be it the 1962 war or the 1965 war, I have seen many wars in my life, and I always feel like saluting our armed forces. Jai Hind, Jai Bharat,"
