The Balakot airstrike was a stern message that stemmed from the resilience and courage of our nation and armed forces.”

Lara Dutta, on her part, “Coming from an armed forces background, I understand the bravery, sacrifice, and love for country first hand. The martyrs of Pulwama made the ultimate sacrifice five years ago, however, the Balakot air strike, filled us with national pride.
