The name “Operation Sindoor” — a symbolic reference to sacrifice and national pride — was shared by the Indian Army across social media, resonating deeply with citizens and public figures alike. Members of the Indian film industry swiftly reacted to the operation, expressing solidarity with the armed forces.
