Suspense Crime, Digital Desk : With India and Pakistan at odds with each other, Rhea Chakraborty posted an emotional caption on Instagram, honoring the service and sacrifice of the Indian armed forces. In her post, she strongly advocated for the military and their families, vowing to always support them.
“From a fauji daughter…” is a note in which Rhea described a personal outlook on her life and feelings as the daughter of a defence officer. Rhea is the daughter of a Lieutenant Colonel, so she had a first hand experience of life in a defence family. Her note highlights the emotional fortitude that is commonplace within army families.
“Duty Comes First”
Rhea also narrated how her father's devotion alongside her mother's bravery shaped her childhood. “I grew up watching my dad wear his uniform like second skin – calm, proud, ready. He’s a man who wears his love for the family, home, and country on his sleeve. And I grew up watching my mom hold back tears like a soldier too."Reflecting on his early life lessons as a daughter of an army officer, the 32-year-old actor revealed, “You learn pretty early… That love oftentimes looks like distance. Pride quietly holds hands with fear.”
Silent Sacrifices are Saluted
Moreover, Rhea pointed out how soldiers often go unnoticed while doing their job of safeguarding the nation. "Somebody's father, mother, brother or sister is out there... standing at the border, standing tall,” she said. Adding, "Today, I sleep safely in my home because of them."
To every Army, navy and airforce family waiting, hoping, praying – I see you, I feel you, I stand with you,” said Rhea in her tribute. “From one fauji home to another... sending love, strength, and a salute. Jai Hindi."
Expressing pride in her identity, Rhea added that she stands with defence families: “Jai hind Fauji ki beti,” she captioned the post.
Military Support from Rising Celebrities
Rhea is not the only one in the military family; other armed forces supporters include Anushka Sharma, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Nimrat Kaur, Gul Panag, Akshay Kumar, and Preity Zinta.
