On July 26, India commemorated Kargil Vijay Diwas, marking 26 years since the nation's victory in the 1999 Kargil War against Pakistan. The day is observed to honour the courage, sacrifice, and valour of Indian soldiers who fought to reclaim the mountain peaks in the Kargil district of Ladakh. Joining the nation in paying heartfelt tributes were several Bollywood celebrities, many of whom have portrayed soldiers on screen and continue to express strong solidarity with the Indian Armed Forces.
