Actress Celina Jaitley, who is currently in Austria, said that her heart is restless, caught between time zones and headlines, amid tensions between India and Pakistan. She also slammed those who threatened to unfollow her after she spoke in support of India.
Taking to her official Instagram account on Friday (May 9), the Apna Sapna Money Money actress wrote, "To those unfollowing me or threatening me because I speak for my country - read this carefully. I will never apologise for standing with my nation. I will never be silent when innocent lives are taken in the name of terror."
She added, "I mourn every innocent life lost-regardless of borders. But I will never stand with those who justify or glorify violence. If my love for India offends you, if my voice against terrorism threatens you, then unfollow me proudly. You were never meant to walk this path with me. I speak for peace. I stand for truth. And I stand with my soldiers always. They protect without asking your name or religion."
"So I will speak without fear or permission. To the trolls and threats: I see you. I forgive you. I rise above you. Jai Hind. Kumaon Regiments Daughter," Celina concluded.
In another story, Celina honoured the bravery of the Indian Armed Forces. She wrote, "In Austria, but wide awake. Sleep feels like a luxury tonight because peace is under attack back home. My heart is restless, caught between time zones and headlines." "I may be far, but my spirit stands with India."
The actress, who is the daughter of a late war veteran, expressed her heartfelt gratitude to the Indian Armed Forces for their silent sacrifices and steadfast courage.
"To our brave Indian Armed Forces: Thank you for being the shield between us and chaos. Your courage isn't just in combat it's in every silent sacrifice, every cold night, every unwavering step you take to protect our nation. We are here, safe and breathing, because you stand unshaken," Celina added.
Tensions between India and Pakistan have intensified following India’s launch of Operation Sindoor - a series of targeted strikes on nine terror camps situated in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK). The operation was carried out in retaliation to the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, which claimed the lives of 26 people.
