In an emotional post, comedian Samay Raina wrote, “My prayers with everyone in Jammu. Sleep peacefully and believe in the Indian army, Jai Hind (Indian flag emoji).” The comedian, whose family resides in Jammu, continued, “My father calls me one last time tonight from Jammu to say goodnight. His voice, steady and calm, urges me to sleep and not worry — the Indian armed forces have everything under control. His calmness quiets my restless thoughts. I switch off the lights in my Mumbai home and walk to the window to draw the curtains. Outside my window, my neighbour's lights still glow. I know little about him, that's just how it is here. I wonder if he, too, has family in Jammu, perhaps in Pathankot — or if he might be the son of a brave soldier, who won't sleep tonight, waiting for a morning call from his father on the front lines. My utmost respect to the armed forces and their families for all the sacrifices they make for our safety. Goodnight. Jai Hind ❤️(Indian flag emoji).”
Filmmaker SS Rajamouli wrote on X (formerly Twitter), “Saluting our Brave Indian Armed Forces for their unwavering courage in protecting our nation from terrorism. Let’s stand together as a nation, inspired by their valour, to build a future of peace and unity. If you see any movement of the Indian Army, don’t take pictures or videos. Don’t share them, as you might be helping the enemy. Stop forwarding unverified news or claims. You’ll only create noise, which the enemy wants. Stay calm, alert and positive. Victory is ours.”
