Ranveer Singh Praises Armed Forces, PM Modi’s Leadership in Operation Sindoor
Mumbai — Actor Ranveer Singh took to Instagram to salute the bravery of India’s armed forces and commend Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s decisive leadership following the launch of Operation Sindoor.
Quoting a Hindi couplet about not provoking others but responding strongly when provoked, Singh wrote, “Salute to the courage of our armed forces and the decisiveness of our Hon. PM Shri @narendramodi.”
Operation Sindoor, launched in the early hours of May 7, targeted nine terror camps—four in Pakistan and five in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir—in a swift and precise retaliation for the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack. The strikes focused solely on terrorist infrastructure, with no reported damage to Indian civilian or military assets.
The operation drew widespread praise from Bollywood, with stars like Ajay Devgn, Akshay Kumar, Kareena Kapoor, and Mahesh Babu joining Singh in honoring the Armed Forces for their courage and precision.

Speaking to IANS, Lauren said the biggest lesson she learned was realizing how unprepared she was. “I didn’t know who was who, how the timelines worked, or when to push and when to hold back,” she said. “The hours were long, and the rhythm of Bollywood was completely different from anything I’d known.”
She added that while the initial phase was disorienting, she eventually adjusted to the unique pace and process of the industry. “Now I can walk onto a set and know it’ll all come together,” she said.
Lauren recently choreographed and performed in the song Who Rules The World from the upcoming Netflix series The Royals, premiering May 9. The show stars Ishaan Khatter, Bhumi Pednekar, and Sakshi Tanwar, among others. (Source: IANS)
